Kortizol, adrenal korteks tarafından üretilen, vücudun strese gösterdiği tepkiyle ilişkili bir kortikosteroid hormondur. Kan basıncını ve şekerini artırır, kadınlarda kısırlığa neden olur ve bağışıklık sistemini baskılar. Hidrokortizon veya kortizon olarak bilinen yapay kortizol alerji ve yangı (enflamasyon) ile mücadelede kullanılır
Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex (in the adrenal gland). It is a vital hormone that is often referred to as the "stress hormone" as it is involved in the response to stress. It increases blood pressure, blood sugar levels and has an immunosuppressive action. In pharmacology, the synthetic form of cortisol is referred to as hydrocortisone, and is used as an antagonist in the treatment of allergies and inflammation as well as substitute supplementation in cortisol production deficiencies. When first introduced as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, it was referred to as Compound E
a hormone that is released to help our bodies deal with threats by breaking down protein stores to use as energy and by suppressing the immune system
(the same as hydrocortisone) a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland that influences the metabolism of various cell types
a hormone that is released in response to stress when the body is subjected to trauma such as intense exercise
A glucocorticoid that has various metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects in the body
Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid and regulates glucose metabolism and the body's response to stress During times of stress, cortisol levels increase and accelerate the breakdown of proteins to provide the fuel to maintain body functions This tearing-down needs to be balanced with periods of rebuilding to maintain good health
an adrenal-cortex hormone (trade names Hydrocortone or Cortef) that is active in carbohydrate and protein metabolism
principle stress hormone released by the adrenal gland during times of physical and physiological stress, mobilizes fat and stimulates the liver to release tissue cannibalizing enzymes into the bloodstream
A catabolic hormone which your body releases during periods of stress Cortisol breaks down protein into amino acids and moves them to the liver where they are converted to glucose
Cortisol (hydrocortisone) is a steroid hormone synthesized and released by the adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands; it is important for normal carbohydrate metabolism and response to stress
Hydrocortisone The main glucocortisteroid secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland
-same as hydrocortisone, a sterol (related to a steroid) secreted by the human adrenal glands It is often released in high amounts during stress High doses lead to interference with the proper functioning of the immune system
an adrenocortical hormone, usually referred to pharmaceutically as hydrocortisone Closely related to cortisone in physiological effects
One of several hormones made in the adrenal glands The primary responsibility of cortisol is to activate the immune system; it also is involved with the metabolism of glucose, and can cause elevation of the blood sugar level Cortisol is in the class of hormones called corticosteroids (or steroids) It, and synthetic versions such as prednisone, are available as prescription medications for treating severe illnesses including asthma and arthritis; they are sometimes also used for severe cases of minor illnesses like poison ivy rashes See also Your doctor advises using steroids at the Diabetes Monitor
The major natural glucocorticoid (GC) in humans It is the primary stress hormone
