Anabolic Steroids
Different Types of Steroids
There are three types
of steroids:
1) Corticosteroids-
Any of the natural or synthetic hormones associated with the adrenal
cortex, which influences or controls key processes of the body, as
carbohydrate and protein metabolism, electrolyte and water balance,
and the functions of the cardiovascular system, the skeletal muscle,
the kidneys, and other organs.
--These steroids are
found in prescription and non-prescription creams and ointments that
control rashes and itching. Two common trade names are Cortaid(R) and
Lanacort(R).
2) Estrogens and
Progestogens- These are the female sex hormones. They are
responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in
women and maintain the female reproductive system.
--Estrogens and
progestogens are the active ingredients in prescription birth control
tablets.
3) Androgens-
Testosterone is the androgen that leads to the development of male
secondary sexual characteristics and maintains the male reproductive
system.
--Testosterone is
commonly prescribed in the treatment of female breast cancer, androgen
deficiency, and for stimulation of growth, weight gain, and red blood
cell production. These are commonly known as "anabolic steroids"
because they promote muscle growth. They are also commonly used to
help patients recover from a surgery and cancer treatment that
resulted in damage to muscle tissue.
