what is the least potent androgen?
DHEA(Dehydroepiandrosterone)
The least potent androgen is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA is a weak androgen produced by the adrenal glands, and it is a precursor to more potent androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The biological activity of DHEA is much lower than that of testosterone. Therefore, it has only a minimal effect on the development of masculine characteristics and is often referred to as a weak androgen. DHEA is also converted to estrogen in peripheral tissues, which further limits its role as a potent androgen.
