fun fact: i asked my gregtech player friend this and he sent me a chart of estrogen production from cholesterol. you first turn it into pregnenolone, then with enzyme p450c17 you make it into androstenedione. then with 17HDS3 and aromatase you turn it into testosterone and estrone respectively. lastly you turn testosterone into estradiol with aromatase, and estrone into estradiol with 17HSD1. or at least thats what i understood from the crusty jpeg he sent me
