    Glossary Steroidogenesis

    biological process of producing steroids from cholesterol

    Steroidogenesis is the biological process by which steroids are generated from cholesterol in the body. This process occurs primarily in the adrenal glands and gonads, producing essential hormones like cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen, which regulate various physiological functions such as metabolism, immune response, and reproductive health.
