Hydrocortisone, also known as cortisol, is an adrenocortical hormone extracted from the adrenal cortex that has the strongest effect on the metabolism of sugar, i.e., belongs to the class of glucocorticoids.

Cortisol is sometimes used to refer exclusively to the basic "" stress hormone "". Cortisol is sequestered by 11 in the mitochondria of the adrenal cortex β- Action of hydroxylase, generated from 11 deoxycortisol. Cortisol was also measured by 11- β- The action of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase becomes cortactin.

Properties

Therapeutic Hydrocortisone is a synthetic or semisynthetic analog of natural hydrocortisone hormone produced by the adrenal glands with primary glucocorticoid and minor mineralocorticoid effects. As a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, hydrocortisone promotes protein catabolism, gluconeogenesis, capillary wall stability, renal excretion of calcium, and suppresses immune and inflammatory responses.
