Also, I can't decide how much information to put on this page regarding each of the classes of steroids.  At present, I think more detailed pages for each steroid, or class of steroids, is needed to detail the physiological role of each group or each particular steroid.

Great start on this page. Can we change organization to something like:
<nowiki>==</nowiki>Classification<nowiki>==</nowiki>
*Corticosteroids
**Glucocorticoids
**Mineralcorticoids
*Sex steroids (estrogens and androgens)
*Progestagens

*Synthesis
(put cholesterol section here)
*Mechanism of action
(put hormone receptors and mechanism of action here)

(put Cortisone and Prednisone section here)
<nowiki>==</nowiki>Diseases of steroid metabolism<nowiki>==</nowiki>
*  21-hydroxylase deficiency  (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)
If this is ok, I am happy to take first attempt at this. - [[User:Robert Badgett|Robert Badgett]] 23:46, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Naming convention

I could be wrong, but I thought the usual naming convention is to have a singular title. In this case, "Steroid". In this way, the first line would be changed to "A steroid, (or steroid hormone), is a powerful hormone with drastic effects, both good and bad, when artificially introduced into living systems." If figure if a change needs to occur, it should happen before the subpages are created. Richard Pettitt 10:30, 21 December 2007 (CST)

Ttile fixed, thank for the reminder Richard.

Also, I can't decide how much information to put on this page regarding each of the classes of steroids. At present, I think more detailed pages for each steroid, or class of steroids, is needed to detail the physiological role of each group or each particular steroid. David E.

Organization

Great start on this page. Can we change organization to something like:

==Classification==

  • Corticosteroids
    • Glucocorticoids
    • Mineralcorticoids
  • Sex steroids (estrogens and androgens)
  • Progestagens

==Biochemistry==

  • Synthesis

(put cholesterol section here)

  • Mechanism of action

(put hormone receptors and mechanism of action here)

==Medical uses of steroids== (put Cortisone and Prednisone section here)

==Diseases of steroid metabolism==

  • 21-hydroxylase deficiency (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)

If this is ok, I am happy to take first attempt at this. - Robert Badgett 23:46, 31 December 2007 (CST)
