However, testosterone in its natural form has a half life of only about ten minutes in the body. So, for therapeutic purposes medicinal chemists began to alter natural testosterone in an attempt to make drugs that would work like testosterone but last long enough in the body to have an effect and thus synthetic steroids were born which can either be taken orally, injected in veins or applied as skin patches. Thus, all steroids have similar basic chemical structure i.e. of a terpenoid lipid characterized by a carbon skeleton with four fused rings.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E589CF67-6D5E-4CE8-B5D8-BC236EC6BBC7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
