Are deep voices related to/caused by high testosterone?
In: Biology
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is what gives rise to ‘male’ characteristics (Lower voice, body hair, and even eventually hair loss). DHT is highly androgenic, as opposed to testosterone which is highly anabolic. As a side note estrogen is actually also anabolic, which is why you don’t want it to be too low even as a man.
DHT comes from testosterone, so more testosterone typically means more DHT. Though the amount of DHT one has is dependent on their genetics, and the way our bodies react to DHT is dependent on genetics as well. So high testosterone and/or DHT, isn’t a guarantee that you will have a deeper voice or lose your hair.
