Question

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a lifethreatening condition that results from a deficiency in the P450 enzyme steroid 21- hydroxylase. This enzyme catalyzes the first step in the conversion of progesterone into cortisol and aldosterone (Figures 26.28 and 26.29). A characteristic of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an increase in sex hormone production. Explain why this is the case.
