    regulate various body functions by interacting with cell receptors

    Steroid hormones are a class of hormones that are derived from cholesterol and include substances like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. They play crucial roles in regulating a variety of physiological processes, such as metabolism, immune response, and reproductive functions. These hormones can pass through cell membranes and bind to specific receptors inside cells, influencing gene expression and cellular activity.
