Steroids are biologically active organic compounds with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration. Steroids have the main biological functions. They serve as important mechanisms of a cell membrane which changes membrane fluidity, and as signaling molecules. Corticosteroid is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, asthma, allergies, and many other conditions.

They also treat Addison's disease, an illness where the adrenal glands are not able to manufacture the least amount of corticosteroid that the body needs. Anabolic steroids are human-made variations of the male sex hormone testosterone. Anabolic has to do with muscle building, and androgenic refers to increased male sex characteristics. Steroids are usually taken orally or injected into the muscles. Typically, the intention is to boost performance or improve physical appearance.
