● steroid skeleton is synthesized from squalene (C30)
● the biosynthesis of steroids originates in cholesterol (C27)and includes gradual breakdown of the side chain
● cells are able to synthesize required cholesterol
● the exception is placenta:cholesterol for the synthesis of steroid hormons by placentamust be delivered from the maternal blood

Progesterone in woman :
origin: ovary - corpus luteum(placenta)
blood plasma: binding on transcortin*) = CBG = corticosteroid binding(+ albumin) globulin
liver: conjugation with GlcUA(pregnanediol-20-glucosiduronate)
excretion: urine
Metabolic remark:progesterone inhibits the influence of aldosterone in the kidneys increased excretion of NaCl
What is less common in progesterone:in comparison with other sex hormones 1/ in plasma it does not bind on SHBG
2/ it does not form the 3-glucosiduronate,however 20- …and probably it is not conjugated with sulfates
*) Transcortin (= CBG) is α1-globulin of blood plasma (about 37 mg/l). P.o. contraception and pregnancy incrises its
P-concentration up to twice. It is synthesized in the liver, Mr cca 52.000, it binds roughly 75 % of P-cortisol.

Testosterone (TST) :
origin: the Leydig cells of testes ~ 95 %
adrenal gland ~ 5 %
plasma: ~ 3 % free testosterone
~ 97 % binding: SHBG = sex hormone binding globulin(+ albumin)
free testosterone target cell 5-reductase (NADPH)
5-dihydrotestosterone higher affinity to responsiveelements of cell nucleus
Sertoli cells.: 1/ ABP = androgen binding protein (it is not a receptor,
by binding of testosterone it obtains its high concentrationnecessary for spermatogenesis)
2/ inhibin (negative influence on hypothalamus + pituitary)3/ antiMüller hormone (suppresses the evolution of female
sex organs)

however the testosterone obtains effectiveness by the reduction to 5-dihydro-testosteron
2/ on the main metabolic way (~ 90 %) of testosterone is a reduction inconjugated bonds in the A-ring only. At C-17 is an oxidation to 17-ketosteroids).

the origin of 17-ketosteroids from testosterone comprises the reduction of conjugated
double bonds in the A-ring and the oxidation of 17-OH group to the 17-keto- (17-oxo-).
The resulting connection of A and B rings may be trans- and cis- :
„androsterone“ (A/B trans)„etiocholanolone“ (A/B cis)testosterone
The determination of 17-ketosteroids (right „17-oxosteroids“) in the urine givesoverall picture of androgenes: in healthy man the fraction from the adrenal cortexcomprises from 2/3 to 3/4, the rest is from testes.In woman the whole excreted quantum of androgens comes from the adrenal cortex.

The enzymes of main metabolic ways of steroids:
1/ hydroxylases (monooxygenases)2/ dehydrogenases (desaturases
and dehydrogenases of hydroxysteroids)3/ lyases (desmolases, SCC)
The others enzymes of steroids metabolism :
hydrogenases, ...
44
Monooxygenases
RH + O2 + NADPH + H+
ROH + H2O + NADP+
Monooxygenases = „oxygenases with mixed function“
Mixed function: the oxygenation of substrate RHthe oxidation of NADPH
(Monooxygenases take place in steroids hydroxylationand in the first stage of xenobiotic metabolism).
45
The hydroxylation requires the dioxygene activation.It is mediated by cytochrome P450.
● the name: cytochromes P450 have the maximum of absorbanceat 450 nm, when is bonded CO on them, „P“ = pigment,abbreviated as „CYP“
● CYP are enzymes that use iron to oxidize some substrates● CYP catalyses a variety of reactions
- (including: epoxidation, N-dealkylation, O-dealkylation,S-oxidation and hydroxylation !)
- fundamental metabolic way is the oxidative biotransformationof xenobiotics (the first phase of it is hydroxylation too !).
● located: 1/ in membrane of smooth ER2/ in the inner membrane of mitochondria
Monooxygenases and CYP (1) :
46
● of CYP accepts electrone from an „electron transfer chain“,the last proteine in this chain is a relevant „reductase CYP“
● in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) the chain is:NADPH → FAD → FMN → CYPthe last protein of the chain is „NADPH cytochrome P450reductase“
● in mitochodria is in „electron transfer chain“ involved an additionalcomponent, the iron-sulfur protein adrenodoxin (located betweenthe reductase and the cytochrome)
Monooxygenases and CYP (2) :
47
● the bond between the two atoms in an oxygen molecule is ratherstrong
● substantial amount of energy is required to break the bond● energy is supplied by addition of electrons to the iron atom of
heme (other substrates were oxidized by removing of electrone)● the reception of electrone by cyt P450 evokes the change
Fe3+ Fe2+ .This iron oxidation state (Fe2+) is able to bond dioxygen(identically as in Hb !!)
● the second transfered electrone makes releasing of doublebond of bonded oxygen
● radicals are formed : R• from substrate RH (by removing ofhydrogen) and •OH from previous dioxygene.Then –OH group is created from both radicals.

Side chain cleavage „SCC“) :
1/ the bond is breaked between two carbons, eachof them has bonding oxygen*)
(The carbon nearest to steroid skeleton has the bonding
-OH group, the more father carbon has oxygen in theform of -OH or =O (oxo-) group)
2/ the result of shortening reaction is the oxo- (keto-)derivative of steroid
3/ reactions are situated in mitochondria
*) the mechanism: the more electronegative oxygens attract electrones from both carbons.
In turn is decreasing of electrone density of bond between two neighbouringcarbons and the bond is enzymaticaly disrupted.It is non-hydrolytic splitting, so without water
therefore enzymes are „lyases“ and not „hydrolases“ !From transient derivatives to side chain cleveage is worth remembering17α-hydroxyprogesterone only …

Adrenal cortex – the places of corticoids synthesiszona glomerulosa aldosteronezona fasciculata cortisolezona (fasciculata a) reticularis androgens
57
Adrenal cortex (1) :
● three zones in histological picture● cells with two functional units,
with different enzymatic equipment → different products,that are controlled independently
1/ the cells of the outer layer - zona glomerulosa
• do not express 17-hydroxylase, so that they do not produceprecursors of glucocorticoids and adrenal androgens
• on the other hand they secrete aldosterone, because the gene foraldosteronsyntase is expressed (in that zone only)
• the synthesis and secretion of aldosterone is controlled byrenin-angiotensin system and by concentration of K+ in plasma
• (the influence of ACTH is very weak and transient)
58
Adrenal cortex (2) :
2/ both inner zones - zona fasciculata and zona reticularis
• produce glucocorticoids, androgens (minimumof testosterone) and small amounts of estrogens
• the production of less effective mineralocorticoids (DOC andcorticosterone) is not very important
• the synthesis and secretion controlled by ACTH
59
Common structure of corticoids :
21
O
OHCH2
O
( DOC = deoxycorticosterone )
60
21-hydroxylation and its deficiency :
• the hydroxyl in the position 21 is the structural characteristic
of corticoids
• so in deficiency of 21-hydroxylase cannot be formed gluco- and
mineralocorticoids
• absent glucocorticoids cause the secretion of ACTH by feedback
and so a hypertrophy of adrenal glands
• ACTH stimulates the transfomation: cholesterol
pregnenolon by cAMP, consequently: progesterone 17-hydroxyprogesterone androstendione testosterone
• increased concentrations of testosterone cause a virilism in girls
(visible at birth),in boys is sexual precocity apparent several months later

64
Hydroxylation of corticoidskeeps always in metabolic pathways an adumbrated direction17 21 11 (the direction of arrows in schemes „anti-clockwise“).The C-17-hydroxylation can be avoid, whereas the C-21-hydroxylationis obligatory (the presence of hydroxyl represents here the structuralcharacteristic of corticoids, the difference from progesterone).
The presence/absence of oxygen at C-11 dictates the class of glucocorticoidsor mineralocorticoids (the exception: aldosterone, see there).
The derivatives of pregnane, with the absent C-17-hydroxyl have the ending„-sterone“ in their name.(This nomenclature aid may be used in steroid substances with 21 carbonatomes i.e. in derivatives of pregnane only. It is not valid elsewhere !)
[ The hydroxylations C-17 and C-21 take place in smooth endoplasmaticreticulum, hydroxylation at C-11 in mitochondria.
Mitochondrial hydroxylation is substantially slower. ]

CORTICOIDS :
1/ mineralocorticoidsact on the kidney to increase the reabsorption of Na+ and the excretion of K+.The charge of Na+, which is over a simple substitution for K+, is balanced withretention of Cl- .NaCl increases the osmotic pressure, water is absorbed for its adjustement.It leads to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure.Main representative: aldosteroneStructure: C21, mineralocorticoids do not have oxygen in the position 11 .(Aldosterone is the exception, its C-11-hydroxyl is „camouflaged“by forming of hemiacetal.)
68
2/ glucocorticoidshave a catabolic effect. They enhance the degradation of proteins and fat.Glucogenic amino-acids from degradated proteins are substrates ofgluconeogenesis (i.e. production of glucose from non-sugar substances).Glucocorticoids increase glycemia and inhibit the inflamatory response andimmune reaction (immunosuppressive effect).Main representative: cortisol, a typical hormone of chronic stress.Structure: C21, in glucocorticoids there is always present oxygen at C-11(hydroxy- or oxo- group).
69
Remember !In majority of cases we cannot distinguish completely „pure“ glucocorticoidsand „pure“ mineralocorticoids.It is valued mainly in drugs, where practically every glucocorticoidhas a small mineralocorticoid effects too.
70
Biological effect - glucocorticoids:
- increase of liver gluconeogenesis from amino-acids- increase of protein catabolism in skeletal muscle- „stress hormone“- suppression of immune reaction
(immunosuppressive effect)- antiinflamatory effect (non-infective inflamation)
Biological effect - mineralocorticoids:
- Na+ retention in distal tubule of kidney- increase excretion of K+
71
Control of biosynthesis :
- glucocorticoids:
1/ diurnal rhythm2/ negative feedback at cortisol (ACTH)3/ stress
- mineralocortikoids:
