Steroidogenic pathways leading to estradiol biosynthesis. The red Xs indicate the hormones or enzymes that have been shown to be affected by EDCs. Each hormone in the pathway is derived from cholesterol. Reactions are catalyzed by steroidogenic enzymes as they metabolize each hormone to a different hormone down the pathway. Estradiol is the major hormone produced by antral follicles.
