Cortisol (hydrocortisone) is the main glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex., and its production is stimulated by pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which is regulated by corticotropin releasing factor (CRF). It is Function released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. And its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through glycogenolysis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. The synthetic counterpart of cortisol are used to treat a variety of diseases. [1] Aditya Dubey and Arthur J. Boujoukos. Free cortisol levels should not be used to determine adrenal responsiveness.
