    Glossary Steroid Metabolism

    process of breaking down and converting steroid hormones

    Steroid metabolism refers to the process by which the body breaks down and converts steroid hormones, such as cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen, into other substances. This involves a series of biochemical reactions primarily in the liver, where enzymes modify the steroid molecules to make them more water-soluble, allowing for their excretion through urine or bile. Understanding steroid metabolism is crucial for both diagnosing and treating conditions related to hormone imbalances and for the development of steroid-based medications.
