Question
Chapter 32, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The significance for steroid hormones that blocks the cholesterol’s synthesis within the body needs to be explained. If the function of steroid hormones can be compromised by the stain action needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
The main class of hormones which are categorized as fat-soluble organic compounds are known as steroid hormones. They can pass over the cell membranes. The main role is played by neurosteroids and steroid hormone in the sex-specific forms of epilepsies and gender-related seizure vulnerability.
