WHAT ARE STEROIDS?
Akhmadalieva N.J. , teacher of the department General Medicine, Angren UniversityAbstract
Steroids belonging to the class of unsaponifiable lipids are steranines and are derivatives. Currently, more than 20,000 steroids are known and more than 100 of them are used in medicine. They perform various functions in the body.
The steroid molecules are based on the structure of the polycyclic saturated hydrocarbon estrane, built from four fused carbon rings. Many steroids contain hydrocarbon side chains, such as cholestane shown in the diagram, which is the basis of many sterols (steroid alcohols).
