List of androgens/anabolic steroids (alternate)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Testosterone.
Steroid ring system.

This is a list of androgens/anabolic steroids (AAS) or testosterone derivatives. Esters are mostly not included in this list; for esters, see here instead. The major classes of testosterone derivatives include the following (as well as combinations thereof):

The last group consists of progestins with mostly only very weak androgenic/anabolic activity.

AAS that are listed as marketed may be marketed as one or more esters rather than as the listed AAS itself.

This list specifically pertains to steroidal androgens; nonsteroidal androgens like the selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) andarine and enobosarm (ostarine) are not included here.
