- - - - double tyrosine linked with O with incorporation of 3/ 4 Iodine's (T3 and T4)
  - - - Androgens (Testosterone)
        
        Origin: Adrenal cortex and gonads
        
        sex organ maturation
      - Estrogens (Estradiol, Estrone)
      - Mineralocorticoids (Aldosterone)
        
        Maintain water & salt balance
        
        Origin: Adrenal cortex
      - Progestogens (Progesterone)
      - Glucocorticoids (Cortisol)
        
        Increase stress resistance
        
        Decrease inflammation
        
        Origin: Adrenal cortex
    - - Testes
      - Ovary
      - Adrenal cortex
      - Adipose tissue
      - Brain
    - - Cholesterol synthesis
        
        Cholesterol synthesized from Acetyl CoA and rate limiting step is HMG CoA reductase
        
        Low density lipoprotein (LDL) bind to LDL receptors and enters cell. LDL is converted to esterified cholesterol eventually converted to free cholesterol
      - The cholesterol is converted to steroids in inner mitochondrial membrane.
- - - - Adenylate cyclase activation and cAMP production
      - Adenylate cyclase deactivation by Phosphodiesterase and cAMP inhibition
