7. Testosterone 

Type of Drug: "Testosterone is classified as an androgenic steroid, specifically an anabolic-androgenic steroid. It's a sex hormone naturally produced in the body, and it can also be administered as a medication, primarily to treat conditions related to low testosterone levels. While it's a steroid, it's distinct from the synthetic anabolic steroids often misused for performance enhancement."
 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Androgenic Effects:

  It plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining male characteristics, like muscle growth and body hair. 

• Anabolic Effects:

  "Anabolic" refers to the muscle-building properties of the hormone, which can be beneficial when used medically for conditions like delayed puberty or testosterone deficiency. 

• Medical Uses:

  Testosterone is used to treat conditions like primary male hypogonadism, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and delayed puberty in males, and can also be used in certain cases of breast cancer in women. 

• Not for Performance Enhancement:

  It's important to note that the term "anabolic steroids" often refers to synthetic versions of testosterone used illegally for performance enhancement, which can have dangerous side effects. 

• Natural Steroid:

  Testosterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone, meaning it's a lipid-based molecule with a specific structure and function. "
