A metabolite of the primary stress hormone cortisone. Cortisol is an essential factor in the proper metabolism of starches, and it is the major natural glucocorticoid (GC) in humans.

A hormone made by the adrenal cortex (the outer layer of the adrenal gland). It helps the body use glucose (a sugar), protein, and fats. Cortisol made in the laboratory is called hydrocortisone. It is [..]

A steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, that promotes the formation of glucose from protein and fat; also suppresses the inflammatory and immune responses.

hydrocortisone, 1953, from cortisone + -ol.

A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that participates in control of blood glucose concentration as well as several other processes.

noun. A corticosteroid hormone possessing glucocorticoid functions which elevate the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. Commonly referred to as hydrocortisone.

Cortisol is a steroidal hormone responsible for blood glucose regulation, immune functions, and anti-stress responses. It is also an anti-inflammatory and helps regulate blood pressure. Cortisol is ma [..]

A glucocorticoid stress hormone of the adrenal cortex.

biochemistry - a hormone produced by vertebrate organisms when exposed to stress

(n) an adrenal-cortex hormone (trade names Hydrocortone or Cortef) that is active in carbohydrate and protein metabolism

One of a class of stress hormones released during the fight-or-flight stress response.

A hormone associated with the physical effects of the stress response within the body.

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland in response to stress. Its main function is to increase the level of glucose in the blood. It also suppresses the immune system.

A hormone whose presence is associated with stress. See also anxiety, Thayer's model of moods.

The main glucocorticoid secreted by the Adrenal Cortex. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of Inflammation, Allergy, Collagen Diseases, Asthma, ad [..]

A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland that regulates carbohydrate metabolism and maintains blood pressure.

 A hormone manufactured by the adrenal cortex. In humans, it is secreted in greatest quantities before dawn, readying the body for the activities of the coming day.

A hormone made by the adrenal cortex (the outer layer of the adrenal gland). It helps the body use glucose (a sugar), protein, and fats. Cortisol made in the laboratory is called hydrocortisone. It is used to treat many conditions, including inflammation, allergies, and some cancers. Cortisol is a type of glucocorticoid hormone.

a steroidal hormone made in the adrenal cortex that affects protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and decreases inflammation

A glucocorticoid that has various metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects in the body.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone found in the human body, produced by the adrenal gland and regulated by the hypothalamus. It is released into the blood stream in response to stressful stimuli and design [..]

A hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that stimulates catabolism.

Stress hormone that is produced in the adrenal gland.

in humans and other mammals the main glucocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal cortices; also known as hydrocortisone. It is essential to the maintenance of life. It is available in synthetic for [..]
