Is oral testosterone a steroid?
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group and is found in mammals, reptiles,[1] birds,[2] and other vertebrates. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principle male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.
Is FSH steroid or hormone?
First off, steroids and hormones are not mutually exclusive groups. The term "steroid" reflect a molecule's chemical structure -- all steroids share the same chemical backbone of cholesterol, which is why they are placed in the same group. The term "hormone" refers specifically to the molecule's function. A hormone is any chemical signal that travels via the bloodstream. Its chemical structure can be that of a steroid (hence we often talk about steroid hormones), it can be a protein or small peptide (hence protein and peptide hormones), or it can be in another class altogether (such as the catecholaminergic hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted in the bloodstream by the pituitary gland and signals events to occur in distant target organs; thus FSH is a hormone. However, it is made of many amino acids strung together; thus FSH is a protein. So FSH is a protein hormone. Hope that helps.
List several compounds which are made from the steroid cholesterol?

Is insulin like growth factor a steroid?
No they are not steroids. They are made up of proteins
Is Prednisone an anabolic steroid?
No, prednisone is not an anabolic steroid. Anabolic steroids are derived from androgens like testosterone and drive processes in the body that build tissue such as muscle mass, etc. Just to get the terminology down: anabolism is the part of metabolism that promotes growth, while catabolism is the part that promotes the breakdown of substrates to provide energy. Prednisone is considered a catabolic hormone, although it is not commonly discussed in these terms. Prednisone is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone cortisol, which is a stress hormone that drives the breakdown of muscle to help raise blood sugar under certain circumstances.
