    i came across this link http://www.rice.edu/~jenky/sports/andro.html
    it says "Androstenedione is a naturally occurring androgenic steroid that is produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and testicles."

    im not using it personally, but i need to use it as a reference in a paper. can it be considered a steroid?

    both. it is a steroid but it is also a precursor (prohormone) of male and female sex hormones. much like testosterone is a steroid but also a precursor to dht.

    hope that helps
