I put numbers to the locations on cholesterol. Perhaps cholesterol needs to be magnified a little further to make it easier to overview. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:21, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Requested update
As proposed in Commons:Requested updates to protected images, I suggest updating this image with File:Steroidogenesis with moved pregnenolone.svg, because it currently runs over the structural formula. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Stereochemistry
The image has been tagged as being disputed due to missing stereochemistry, but I'm not sure it needs to be fixed. The diagram would be very busy if we added all the stereocentres. Maybe we should just check which of them differ from cholesterol in their stereochemistry and mark them up? --203.147.41.98 06:18, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- You mean to leave out the hydrogens that are shown to state the stereochemistry? IMO at least the groups that are drawn, need to be correct. In the case of cortisol and corticosterone, even the newly introduced OH group does not bear any stereochemical information. --Leyo 20:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- It does need to be fixed. It would be a pity if this otherwise very nice overview image would suffer from being incorrect. I don't think that introducing some wedged-bonds at the stereogenic positions would do harm to the picture. --77.180.53.75 08:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
