In addition, the dissociation rate of DHT from the AR is 5-fold slower than that of testosterone. The EC₅₀ of DHT for activation of the AR is 0.13 nM, which is about 5-fold stronger than that of testosterone (EC₅₀ = 0.66 nM). In bioassays, DHT has been found to be 2.5- to 10-fold more potent than testosterone.
