4.5.Steroids
The steroids include a very important and widely distributed group of substances including the sterols, the bile acids, the adrenal hormones, and the sex hormones. Although these steroids have a very wide range of biological properties, they all have the basic structural unit of a phenanthrene nucleus linked to a cyclopentane ring.
