~~====The Synthesis and Metabolism of Adrenal Corticoids====~~

+

−

~~The synthesis of these corticoids is through the involvement of the steroid biosynthesis pathway. The steps of which are outlined below:~~

−

~~1) An enzyme cleaves the carbon side chain of cholesterol esters, forming the C21 steroid; '''Pergnenolone'''~~

−

~~2) Hydroxylations at C-21, ensures that these molecules then don't enter the progesterone pathway.~~
