Steroids occur natually in the human body in the forms estrogen, progesterone and androgen. Estrogen and progesterone are made primarily in the ovary and in the placenta during pregnancy and testosterone in the testes. Plants and insects also produce their own steroids. There are different sub-sets of human steroids as well.
Sex steroids are a subset of sex hormones that produce sex differences or support reproduction. They include androgens, estrogens, and progestagens.
Corticosteroids include glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids regulate many aspects of metabolism and immune function, whereas mineralocorticoids help maintain blood volume and control renal excretion of electrolytes.
Anabolic steroids are a class of steroids that interact with androgen receptors to increase muscle and bone synthesis. There are natural and synthetic anabolic steroids. These are the steroids used by athletes to increase performance.
Steroids can help fight infection, boost the immune system and help the body recover from injury, among other things.
Good luck with your paper!
