Cortisol
Hormone
The hormone cortisol, secreted by the adrenal glands, is often
called the "stress hormone" because its levels rise
following physical and emotional stress. But cortisol does not
only measure the level of stress a person is experiencing, it
is necessary for the functioning of almost every part of the body.
Too much or too little of the hormone cortisol can lead to various
physical symptoms and diseases.
Cortisol's roles in bodily functions is to regulate the amounts
of fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the body as well as help
control blood pressure. The stress hormone stimulates the metabolism
of fats and proteins and also stimulates appetite by causing the
release of insulin into the blood and maintains blood sugar levels.
The end result of high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol,
in the body is weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
In
addition to causing weight gain, cortisol causes weight to be
gained around the abdominal region. This weight gain has been
shown to be more dangerous than weight that is gained on the hips
and thighs because it may lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Defenition - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cortisol
Cortisol (hydrocortisone, C21H30O5 ), is a corticosteroid hormone
synthesized in the zona fasciculata of the cortex of the adrenal
glands. Its systematic name is 11ß,17,21-Trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione
and its CAS number is 50-23-7. The molcular weight is approximately
362.47.
The amount of cortisol present in the serum undergoes diurnal
variation, with the highest levels present in the early morning,
and lower levels in the evening, several hours after the onset
of sleep. Information about the light/dark cycle is transmitted
from the retina to the paired suprachiasmatic nuclei in the hypothalamus.
Changed patterns of the serum cortisol levels have been observed
in connection with abnormal ACTH levels, clinical depression,
psychological stress, and such physiological stressors as hypoglycemia,
illness, fever, trauma, surgery, fear, pain, physical exertion
or extremes of temperature. There is also significant individual
variation, although a given person tends to have consistent rhythms.
Some effects of cortisol being secreted into the bloodstream
are an increase in blood pressure and glucose concentrations.
Also it increases the glycogen formation in the liver (Freeman,
2002). The release of cortisol inhibits functioning of the immune
system, and bone formation.
Cortisol also inhibits the secretion of corticotropin releasing
hormone (CRH), resulting in feedback inhibition of ACTH secretion.
Some researchers believe that this normal feedback system may
break down when animals are exposed to chronic stress.
Most serum cortisol, all but about 4 percent, is bound to proteins
including corticosteroid binding globulin, CBG, and albumin. Only
free cortisol is available to most receptors.
As an oral or injectable drug, cortisol is used medically in
the treatment of anaphylaxis and other severe allergic reactions,
and to reduce certain forms of swelling or edema. In normal release,
cortisol has widespread actions which help restore homeostasis
after stress. It acts as a physiological antagonist to insulin
by promoting breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
and so mobilising energy reserves. In addition, immune and inflammatory
cells have their responses to stress attenuated by cortisol.
These normal endogenous functions are the basis for the physiological
consequences of chronic stress - prolonged cortisol secretion
causes muscle wastage, hyperglycaemia, and immune / inflammatory
responses. The same sequelae arise from long-term use of glucocorticoid
drugs.
