Thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), require selenium for their synthesis. Selenium is a key component of the enzymes that help convert the inactive form of these hormones into the active form in the thyroid gland.
The synthesis of steroid hormones primarily takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria of cells. Cholesterol is the precursor molecule for all steroid hormones, which are produced through a series of enzymatic reactions. These hormones play important roles in regulating various physiological processes in the body.
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes found in the cell.
Lipid soluble hormones, like steroid hormones, bind to intracellular receptors in the target cell. This hormone-receptor complex then enters the nucleus and binds to specific DNA regions, regulating gene transcription. Ultimately, this leads to changes in protein synthesis and cellular responses.
The Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum, catalyze reactions involved with: synthesis of steroid based hormones like sex hormones.
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.

Thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), require selenium for their synthesis. Selenium is a key component of the enzymes that help convert the inactive form of these hormones into the active form in the thyroid gland.
The nucleolus is the site inside the nucleus where rRNA synthesis occurs.
Yes, cholesterol is important in the synthesis of sex hormones.

T3 and T4 hormones regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.
