Hydrocortisone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	crystalline white powder
Usage	Principle glucocorticoid hormone produced by adrenal cortex. An anti-inflammatory hormone.
Usage	glucocorticoid, antiinflammatory
Usage	Cortisol, or Hydrocortisone, is a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland. Cortisol is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
