The 34 pages that link to Steroid hormone, each with the reason it gives.

• CholesterolBroader topic: Cholesterol is the precursor from which steroid hormone synthesis begins.

• CortisolNarrower topic: Cortisol’s chemical structure places it in this hormone family.

• EstrogenNarrower topic: Estrogens belong to this chemical and functional hormone family.

• TestosteroneNarrower topic: Testosterone’s steroid structure shapes how it travels and signals in the body.

• AldosteroneNarrower topic: Aldosterone’s steroid structure lets it regulate target-cell gene expression through an intracellular receptor.

• Vitamin DNarrower topic: The active form of vitamin D behaves like a hormone within this broader signaling family.

• Thyroid hormonesCompared with: Like thyroid hormones, steroid hormones can regulate transcription through intracellular receptors, but have different chemistry.

• ProgesteroneNarrower topic: Progesterone belongs to this hormone family and shares its basic chemical framework.

• AndrogenNarrower topic: Androgens belong to this broader hormone class.

• HormoneBroader topic: Cortisol and estrogen illustrate hormones with a lipid-derived structure.

• SteroidBroader topic: This subtype carries signals between endocrine tissues and target cells.

• Mevalonate pathwayRelated: Steroid production depends indirectly on mevalonate-derived cholesterol.

• EicosanoidCompared with: Steroid hormones typically act through different precursors, receptors, and timescales than eicosanoids.

• EstradiolNarrower topic: Estradiol’s cholesterol-derived structure gives it its characteristic signaling route.

• LipidBroader topic: It demonstrates how a lipid-derived molecule can regulate distant tissues.

• Adrenal cortexNarrower topic: Cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenal androgens belong to this hormone class.

• Androgen receptorNarrower topic: Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone are steroid hormones recognized by this receptor.

• Glucocorticoid receptorNarrower topic: Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones, enabling them to reach the receptor inside target cells.

• GlucocorticoidNarrower topic: Glucocorticoids belong to this hormone family and share its lipid-derived structure.

• SteroidogenesisNarrower topic: Steroidogenesis is the process that generates this broader hormone class.

• MoultingNarrower topic: Ecdysone belongs to this hormone class and regulates insect moulting.

• Peptide hormoneCompared with: Its lipid solubility and typical receptor location contrast with peptide hormones.

• ProgestinNarrower topic: Most progestins are steroid molecules built to engage hormone-receptor pathways.

• SterolRelated: Cholesterol is the starting material for these hormones.

• GlucuronidationRelated: Glucuronidation helps regulate the circulation and elimination of steroid hormones.

• Sex hormone-binding globulinNarrower topic: Testosterone and estradiol are steroid hormones carried in blood partly by SHBG.

• Edward Calvin KendallNarrower topic: Adrenal cortical hormones are steroids, linking Kendall’s isolates to a larger hormone family.

• Endocrine cellBroader topic: Steroid-producing endocrine cells typically synthesize these hormones on demand rather than storing them in vesicles.

• Adolf ButenandtNarrower topic: Butenandt’s best-known isolated hormones belong to this chemical family.

• ProgestogenNarrower topic: Most progestogens share this chemical class and intracellular mode of action.

• CorticosteroneNarrower topic: Corticosterone is a steroid hormone with cholesterol-derived structure.

• Mevalonic acidBroader topic: Their carbon skeletons trace back through cholesterol to mevalonate.

• Konrad Emil BlochRelated: Understanding cholesterol production clarified the supply of a precursor used to make steroid hormones.

• Percy Lavon JulianNarrower topic: Julian’s steroid intermediates enabled more practical production of several hormone-based medicines.
