steroid hormones are those hormones which are secreted by 3 steroid glands the steroid glands are adrenal cortex testes and ovaries and during pregnancy by Placenta all steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol.

Among the following Oxytocin is steroid
1) Hormones are molecules produced and secreted by endocrine glands in the body. These hormones are released into the blood and travel to other parts of the body where they bring about specific responses from specific cells.
2) Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and are lipid-soluble molecules. Examples of steroid hormones include the sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, and progesterone) produced by male and female gonads and hormones of the adrenal glands (aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens).
3) Steroid hormones cause changes within a cell by first passing through the cell membrane of the target cell. Steroid hormones, unlike non-steroid hormones, can do this because they are fat-soluble. Cell membranes are composed of a phospholipid bilayer which prevents fat-insoluble molecules from diffusing into the cell.
4) Once inside the cell the steroid hormone binds with a specific receptor found only in the cytoplasm of the target cell. The receptor bound steroid hormone then travels into the nucleus and binds to another specific receptor on the chromatin.
5) Once bound to the chromatin, this steroid hormone-receptor complex calls for the production of specific RNA moleculescalled messenger RNA (mRNA) by a process called transcription.
6) The mRNA molecules are then modified and transported to the cytoplasm. The mRNA molecules code for the production of proteins through a process called translation.
7) These proteins can be used to build muscle.
