Adrenal and gonadal mitochondrial metabolic activity requires electrons from cofactors, cholesterol, and a substrate for rapid steroid synthesis, an essential requirement for mammalian survival. Substrate activity depends on its environment, which is regulated by chaperones and mitochondrial translocases.
