Different types of bisphenols alter ovarian steroidogenesis: Special attention to BPA
Heliyon, 2023 Endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA) and some of its analogues, including BPS, BPAF, and BPE, are used extensively in the manufacture of plastics.

Defects of steroidogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2010 In the biosynthesis of steroid hormones the neutral lipid cholesterol, a normal constituent of lipid bilayers is transformed via a series of hydroxylation, oxidation, and reduction steps into a vast array of biologically active compounds: mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex hormones.

Prohibitin-1 plays a regulatory role in Leydig cell steroidogenesis
iScience, 2022 Summary: Mitochondria are essential for steroidogenesis. In steroidogenic cells, the initiation of steroidogenesis from cholesterol occurs on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane by the enzyme P450scc. This requires cholesterol import from

Intestinal steroidogenesis [PDF]
Steroids, 2015 Steroids are fundamental hormones that control a wide variety of physiological processes such as metabolism, immune functions, and sexual characteristics. Historically, steroid synthesis was considered a function restricted to the adrenals and the gonads.

Immune Cells as Critical Regulators of Steroidogenesis in the Testis and Beyond
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Steroidogenesis is an essential biological process for embryonic development, reproduction, and adult health. While specific glandular cells, such as Leydig cells in the testis, are traditionally known to be the principal players in steroid hormone ...
