anabolic-androgenic steroids -- are the synthetic derivatives of the naturally occurring male anabolic hormone testosterone. Both anabolic and androgenic have origins from the Greek: anabolic ...

In addition, the current study uses structural biology methods to elucidate the molecular basis of the interaction between the steroid hormone ... Identification, structure, and agonist design ...

said Dr Qiuyi Wang,co-first author of the study. To test this idea, the research team focused on steroid hormones, which play a crucial role in metabolism, immune function, and stress response.
