Where
and what kind of steroids are naturally produced?
The adrenal cortex produces three different
classes of steroids built from the basic cholesterol molecule. These three
classes are glucocorticosteroids (cortisol), mineralo-corticoids (aldosterone)
and androgens (testosterone). The adrenal medulla produces catecholamines via
an entirely different metabolic pathway starting with the amino acid tyrosine
and under different neurohumoral control.
