3 Common Types of raw steroid powders

raw steroid powders generally refer to steroid hormones in medicine, most of which are synthesized and secreted by various parts of the body, and a small part can be artificially synthesized, which play an important role in the functional activities of organs, tissues and cells of the body.
There are three main types of raw steroid powders hormones commonly used in clinical practice, including glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and sex hormones, as follows:

1. Mineralocorticoids
The main role is to retain sodium and excrete potassium, which can promote the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubules, coordinate with the antidiuretic hormone secreted by the hypothalamus, and jointly maintain the balance of water and electrolytes in the body.
The commonly used mineralocorticoid drugs in clinic are mainly aldosterone, which is mainly synthesized and secreted by the adrenal cortex. In addition to participating in renal exercise and regulating water and salt metabolism, aldosterone also plays a certain role in the regulation of blood pressure.

2. Glucocorticoids
It is a class of steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex, which mainly have certain effects on the metabolism of sugar, lipid and protein.
It can promote gluconeogenesis, is an antagonist of insulin, and is the most important glucocorticoid in the body.
It can inhibit the synthesis of fat, accelerate the decomposition of fat, and can also promote the decomposition of protein and inhibit the synthesis of protein.
At the same time, glucocorticoids it also has anti-inflammatory and anti-infective properties, and glucocorticoids are used in the treatment of severe bleeding, infection, and autoimmune diseases. Commonly used glucocorticoids include cortisone, prednisone, and dexamethasone.

3. Sex hormones
It is a kind of non-steroidal hormones in the human body, including estrogen, androgen, and progesterone, mainly secreted by the reticular zone of the adrenal cortex.
The main role of these hormones is to promote sexual maturation, promote sexual organ development, and maintain normal sexual function.
Commonly used clinical sex hormone drugs include estradiol valerate, testosterone propionate, and progesterone.
