Cholesterol, bile acids, and steroid hormones. In humans cholesterol and cholesterol derivatives (steroid hormones, bile acids) are essential metabolites for the physiological integration of the body of the endocrine system, regulation of cell membrane processes, and adsorption of dietary lipids.teroid hormones are cholesterol derivatives in animals that are used for a broad range of signaling mechanisms. Cholesterol is hydroxylated and shortened (removing the the C6 hydrophobic side chain at position C21) to the C21 intermediates pregnenolone and progestagen.
