* Progestogens are the precursors of all other human steroids, and all human tissues which produce steroids must first convert cholesterol to [[pregnenolone]]. This conversion is the rate-limiting step of steroid synthesis, which occurs inside the [[mitochondrion]] of the respective tissue.<ref name="pmid16759697">{{cite journal | vauthors = Rossier MF | title = T channels and steroid biosynthesis: in search of a link with mitochondria | journal = Cell Calcium | volume = 40 | issue = 2 | pages = 155–64 | date = Aug 2006 | pmid = 16759697 | doi = 10.1016/j.ceca.2006.04.020 }}</ref><ref name="pmid21051590" />{{better source needed|date=March 2017}}
