Steroids are a class of chemical compounds characterized by four rings of carbon atoms linked in a specific way. Depending on what particular functional groups are hanging off the rings, they have a wide variety of effects in biological systems.

Many hormones are steroids. Examples include testosterone, estrogen, and cortisone.
