Abstract

Steroid hormones are crucial for the regulation of many aspects of metabolism, homeostasis, 1 immune function, reproduction, and development.Cholesterol is the for the synthesis 2 of steroid by succession enzyme-catalyzed reactions.While studies of the 3 regulation of steroidogenesis often focus on these enzymes, availability of cholesterol is also 4 crucial for steroid synthesis.Its optimal intracellular levels for steroidogenesis and other
