Can steroids act as a testosterone replacement?
Anabolic steroids are artificially produced hormones that are the same as, or similar to, androgens. As mentioned, the most powerful androgen is testosterone (another androgen is aldosterone). However, Testosterone Replacement Therapy uses different types of steroids than those abused by some bodybuilders. Essentially, all substances mimicking hormones are steroids, but not all steroids are created equal or of precise medical-grade quality.
