Good question, I'm not really sure as I'm not good at the hormones topic, but I'd say testosterone as if I'm not mistaken dht is produced from it. Also excessive dht causes baldness if I'm not mistaken.
Yes. A bit of the systems testosterone gets converted to DHT through 5ar (5-androreductase)
What dutasteride do is it blocks 5ar from functioning. So then your testosterone will not get converted to DHT anymore which actually means you get to keep more of your testosterone and thus have higher testosterone levels on dutasteride (because less testosterone gets converted to DHT)
Dutasteride reduces DHT by 97 %.
DHT have some positive effects on male organism but the major negative effect is hair loss and enlarged prostate.
DHT is mainly important during puberty (to masculinize voice, grow your cock etc) then after age 20 you have no reason to want high DHT in your body as it will only cause hairloss and prostate problems
So Dutasteride is a Anti-Hairloss medication
