Where does synthesis of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen occur?

The synthesis of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen primarily occurs in the gonads: the testes in males and the ovaries in females. In addition, the adrenal glands also contribute to the production of these hormones, particularly in both sexes, where they produce precursor hormones that can be converted into testosterone and estrogen. The synthesis involves a series of enzymatic reactions that convert cholesterol into steroid hormones.


Are testosterone and estrogen polar?

Testosterone and estrogen are both steroid hormones derived from cholesterol and are generally considered nonpolar molecules. Their nonpolar nature allows them to easily pass through cell membranes, which are also composed of lipid bilayers. However, they can exhibit some degree of polarity due to functional groups, but overall, they are classified as lipophilic (fat-loving) rather than hydrophilic (water-loving).
