DHT Peak Time?

Dear BaldingBlog,
I am wondering what time of the day DHT peaks? Surely if finasteride is consumed just before DHT levels peak, surely the efficacy of the drug must demonstrate higher efficacy – due to the short half-life of finasteride.
Thanks.

Finasteride works at the follicle level and reflects the fixation of the drug to the receptors. This is not blood level responsive, so time of day really does not matter. DHT is made from testosterone which peaks in young men between 8-12 noon. In older men, the testosterone levels are more stable with only a modest decrease in the evening. I believe DHT and testosterone will follow each other, as DHT is a metabolite of testosterone.
