Difference between Cholesterol and Steroid hormone

Cholesterol vs. Steroid hormone

Cholesterol (from the Ancient Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol) is an organic molecule. A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone.

Similarities between Cholesterol and Steroid hormone

Cholesterol and Steroid hormone have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenal gland, Endocytosis, Estrogen, Ligand (biochemistry), Lipid, Lipid bilayer, Protein, Receptor (biochemistry), Steroid, Vitamin D.

Adrenal gland

The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.
