What are hormones made from cholesteral called?
All the steroid hormones.Glucocorticoids: prednisone, dexamethasone, triamcinoloneMineralocorticoid: fludrocortisoneVitamin D: dihydrotachysterolAndrogens: oxandrolone, testosterone, nandrolone (also known as anabolic steroids)Oestrogens: diethylstilbestrol (DES)Progestins: norethindrone, medroxyprogesterone acetate
What kind of molecules are steriod hormones made of?
Steroid hormones are composed of lipids.
Do lysosomes make steroid hormones?
No, lysosomes do not make steroid hormones. Lysosomes are cell organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down cellular waste and recycling old cell components. Steroid hormones are produced in specialized cells in the endocrine system, such as the adrenal glands and gonads.
What category of hormone is made from lipid molecules?

Hormones produced from cholestrol are called?
Steroid hormones.
What is the difference and similarities between non steroid hormones and steroid hormones?
Different chemical classes of hormones are made from different substrates and are soluble in different solvents. Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and include: testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol, estradiol and progesterone. They are soluble in lipids (fat-soluble) and can therefore be administered orally. Other kinds of hormones, eg: tyrosine-based hormones and protein hormones, are made from different substances (eg: amino acids) and may be water soluble and therefore cannot be administered orally.
What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?
Peptide based hormones exert their effects on a cell by way of second messengers (cAMP or PIP) pathways. Steroid based hormones exert their effects on a target cell via direct gene activation.
