Pronunciation: [stˈɛɹɔ͡ɪdz] (IPA)

Steroids are a class of organic compounds that are naturally produced in the human body and can also be synthesized artificially. These compounds are known to have anti-inflammatory and immune-suppressing properties and are often used in the treatment of various medical conditions such as asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune disorders. However, they are also popular in the sports industry to enhance physical performance and muscle growth, which has resulted in an illegal market for them.

Despite the potential benefits, the misuse of steroids can lead to severe side effects and health risks.
