Steroids [are a] class of lipids having a particular molecular ring structure called the cyclopentanoperhydro-phenanthrene ring system. ... In humans, steroids are secreted by the ovaries and testes, the adrenal cortex and the placenta. Many steroids are biologically active hormones that control a number of the body's metabolic processes. This group includes the male sex hormone testosterone and the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. The steroid hormones of the adrenal cortex include glucocorticoids such as cortisone and cortisol. 2, record 2, English, - steroid%20hormones

Les stéroïdes constituent un groupe de lipides dérivant de triterpénoïdes (lipides à 30 atomes de carbones), majoritairement le squalène. Ils se caractérisent par un noyau cyclopentanophénanthrénique hydrophobe partiellement ou totalement hydrogéné. Habituellement, les carbones C10, C13 sont liés à un groupe méthyle -CH3 et le carbone C17 à un groupe alkyle. Par extension, les stéroïdes incluent également les lipides dont le noyau cyclopentanophénanthrénique a été modifié par scission d'une liaison et l'ajout ou la délétion d'un carbone. 2, record 3, French, - st%C3%A9ro%C3%AFde
