Interpretation: The given hormone is whether a natural steroid hormone or a synthetic steroid hormone has to predicted.
Concept introduction: The ductless gland that has a messenger function produce a biochemical substance, called hormones. The hormone which is a derivative of cholesterol is called steroid hormones.
The hormones which replicate the functions of natural steroid hormones are called synthetic steroid hormones. For example, oral contraceptives and anabolic steroids.
The hormones which are naturally present in the body are called natural steroid hormones. For example testosterone, estradiol.
