Which of the following represents the correct sequential pathway for aldosterone synthesis from cholesterol, based on the enzyme-catalyzed steps?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. Cholesterol → Pregnenolone → Progesterone → Corticosterone → Deoxycorticosterone → Aldosterone
  2. Cholesterol → Progesterone → Pregnenolone → Deoxycorticosterone → Corticosterone → Aldosterone
  3. Cholesterol → Pregnenolone → Progesterone → Deoxycorticosterone → Corticosterone → 18-Hydroxycorticosterone → Aldosterone
  4. Cholesterol → Pregnenolone → Deoxycorticosterone → Progesterone → Corticosterone → Aldosterone
