🧬 Steroids
Definition:
Steroids are organic compounds with a characteristic four-ring structure that function as hormones, signaling molecules, or structural components in cells.
🌿 Main Types
Sex Hormones: Including estrogen, testosterone, etc.; regulate secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive functions.
Glucocorticoids: Such as cortisol; regulate metabolism, stress responses, and immune suppression.
Mineralocorticoids: Such as aldosterone; regulate water-salt balance and blood pressure.
Anabolic Steroids: Synthetic analogs of testosterone; used to promote muscle growth (for medical or illicit purposes).
Vitamin D Analogs: Steroid derivatives; regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism as well as skeletal health.
Cholesterol: The parent molecule for all steroids; serves as a structural component of cell membranes and the foundation for hormone synthesis.
