    This diagram outlines the key steps in steroid hormone synthesis in the body. Cholesterol is converted to pregnenolone by the enzyme StAR, and pregnenolone can then be converted through a series of hydroxylation and lyase reactions into other steroid hormones like cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA. These steroid hormones are important regulators of physiology and metabolism.
