Pregnenolone is often referred to as the grandparent precursor to steroid hormones in mammals.* Pregnenolone is synthesized from cholesterol in the mitochondria of adrenal glands.* Pregnenolone is also made to a lesser extent in the brain, liver, skin, testes and ovaries.* Once synthesized, pregnenolone is released from the mitochondria into the cytosol where it can be converted to DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) or to progesterone.* DHEA serves as a precursor compound to the androgens and the estrogens through androstenedione as the intermediate compound.* Progesterone is the precursor to cortisol, aldosterone, androstenedione, estrogen, and testosterone.* Pregnenolone may also be secreted directly into the blood where it circulates primarily as the sulfated form.* Pregnenolone has many actions of its own not attributable to its conversion to progesterone or to DHEA.* Recent studies show that pregnenolone is important for the function of brain, nervous tissue, liver, pancreas, reproductive tissues, pituitary and skin.* Pregnenolone is found in higher concentrations in the central nervous system compared to the peripheral tissues which may reflect its importance in brain function.* As with many hormones, pregnenolone production declines with age.* It is estimated that pregnenolone production is about 60% less at age 75 than at age 35.* Pregnenolone levels may also decline under various conditions of physiological stress, such as acute and chronic infections and trauma.*
