Б. Инактивация стероидных гормонов

Процесс ферментативной инактивации стероидных гормонов происходит в печени. Молекулы стероидных гормонов подвергаются восстановлению или гидроксилированию, а затем переводятся в конъюгаты (см. Биохимическая трансформация). Восстановление идёт по оксогруппе и двойной связи кольца A. Биосинтез конъюгатов заключается в образовании сернокислых эфиров или гликозилировании глюкуроновой кислотой и приводит к водорастворимым соединениям.

При инактивации стероидных гормонов образуются разнообразные производные с существенно более низкой гормональной активностью. Следует отметить, что организм млекопитающих лишён способности разрушать углеродный скелет молекул стероидов.

Наконец, стероиды выводятся из организма с мочой и частично с желчью. Содержание стероидов в моче используется в качестве критерия при изучении метаболизма стероидов.
