This Intermediate Level course takes a look at the steroid hormone cascade in the body, starting with the precursor hormone cholesterol, from which all other steroid hormones downstream are synthesized from, either directly or indirectly. It also reviews the five major steroid groups based on the receptors to which they bind including: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens, and progestagens.
