1 The 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Delta(5)-Delta(4) isomerase (3beta-HSD) and 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase cytochrome P450 (P450c17) enzymes are important in determining the balance of the synthesis of different steroids such as progesterone (P4), glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens.

2 The 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Delta(5)-Delta(4) isomerase (3beta-HSD) and 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase cytochrome P450 (P450c17) enzymes are important in determining the balance of the synthesis of different steroids such as progesterone (P4), glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. Steroids hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1 Homo sapiens
3 The mathematical model developed in this study simulates the network of reactions catalyzed by 3beta-HSD and P450c17 that characterizes steroid synthesis in human, non-human primate, ovine, and bovine species. Steroids hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1 Homo sapiens
4 The model helps to understand the interplay between fluxes through the Delta(4) and Delta(5) pathways in this network, and how this determines the response of steroid synthesis to the variation in 3beta-HSD activity or in the supply of the precursor substrate, pregnenolone (P5).
