    The document summarizes the biosynthesis of steroid hormones in the body. Cholesterol is the precursor molecule that is obtained from blood and stored in cells. In the mitochondria, cholesterol is converted to pregnenolone, then through a series of enzymatic reactions it is converted to other steroid hormones including glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, estrogens, androgens, progesterone and corticosteroids. The zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex synthesizes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone.
