Anabolic steroids are Synthetic drugs that mimic the affects of testosterone. Testosterone is a sex hormone naturally secreted from the testes in males. Its secretion is stimulated primarily by Lh (luteinizing hormone), which is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone. steroids are a group of substances that can be found in human body.
ANABOLIC steroids are those steroids that have the anabolic effect,anabolic state is when the body start to synthesis protein faster and more effective,repair muscle tissues and cell membrane,retain water and minerals and numerous more.
Testosterone and its bi-products like testosterone cypionate,propionate,nandrolone,stnazolo are steroids and also have the anabolic effect on human body.

Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of testosterone (the male sex hormone). There are many types of steroids that are derived from testosterone. Such as: Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Propionate and Testosterone Enanthate.
However, there are other anabolic steroids that aren't solely derived from testosterone, but have the same effect. Such as: Dianabol, Sustamed, Nandrolone, Parabolan, and Deca-durabolin.

Anabolic Steroids are derivatives of the male hormone testosterone and, as such, they exert their effects on many testosterone sensitive tissues within the body. This includes reproductive tissues, muscle, bone, hair follicles, liver, kidneys, white and red blood cells and brain. These effects fall under two classifications:

ANABOLIC Promoting muscle growth
ANDROGENIC Promoting the development of masculine characteristics
