Medical Hypotheses, 1998
It is proposed that cortisol's primary purpose is to mobilize the body's defenses against water-losing intestinal diseases and corticosterone's against serum diseases. They do this by inversely controlling those immune cells, enzymes, and hormones, etc. that affect survival during infection.

Cortisol in obesity is a much-studied problem. Previous information indicates that cortisol secretion is elevated but that circulatory concentrations are normal or low, suggesting that peripheral disappearance rate is elevated. These studies have usually not taken into account the difference between central and peripheral types of obesity.

SUMMARY1. In humans, the hypertensive effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) infusion are reproduced by intravenous or oral Cortisol. Oral Cortisol increases blood pressure in a dose‐dependent fashion. At a dose of 80–200 mg/day, the peak increases in systolic pressure are of the order of 15mmHg.

Biological Psychology, 2000
Somatization symptoms are frequently associated with depression, anxiety, and feelings of distress. These features interact with the activity of the HPA-axis. Therefore we investigated relationships between somatization symptoms and cortisol. Seventy-seven participants were classified into three groups: somatization syndrome (at least eight physical ...

Cortisol and corticosterone independence in cortisol-dominant wildlife
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2012Species have traditionally been defined as cortisol-dominant or corticosterone-dominant, depending on the glucocorticoid that is reported. To assess the degree of covariance versus independence between cortisol and corticosterone, 245 serum samples belonging to 219 individuals from 18 cortisol-dominant, non-domesticated species (6 mammalian orders ...

Serum free cortisol index, free cortisol, and total cortisol in critically ill children
Intensive Care Medicine, 2009In critical illness, serum total cortisol (TC) may not adequately reflect adrenal function because of reduced cortisol-binding globulin (CBG).To evaluate adrenal function of critically ill children, using free cortisol index (FCI), calculated free cortisol (cFC), and TC levels.Thirty-two critically ill and 36 healthy children were included.

The relationship between adrenocortical function and immunity is a complex one. In addition to the well-known detrimental effects of large, pharmacologic dosages of glucocorticoids upon the immune process, there is impressive evidence that physiologic amounts of cortisol, the chief glucocorticoid normally produced by the human adrenal cortex, is ...
