DHT actually is linked to some pheromones. More specific: androsterone is a break-down product of DHT. Stumbled upon an old thread about pheromone biosynthesis a while ago. It’s an interesting read: > [@question: pheromone biosynthesis pathways](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/question-pheromone-biosynthesis-pathways/31828): > > Warning: Newbie questions here. I’m wondering if there is available a diagram that maps out how the body synthesizes various [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/). Specifically, something that shows things like “testosterone breaks down in the body into this, and this is excreted onto the skin, where this bacteria changes it into this”, etc… I’m interested in this for two reasons.
