Weitere Details:: Cortisol (C₂₁H₃₀O₅), also known as hydrocortisone, is the primary glucocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex in response to stress. Often referred to as the "stress hormone," cortisol plays a central role in regulating blood pressure, glucose metabolism, immune responses, and circadian rhythms. Its secretion follows an ACTH-dependent diurnal pattern, peaking in the early morning and declining throughout the day. In neuroscience, cortisol is a key modulator of brain function. Chronic dysregulation of cortisol levels has been linked to cognitive decline, mood disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Elevated cortisol can impair hippocampal function, reduce neurogenesis, and contribute to neuronal atrophy. Only free cortisol, which constitutes about 4% of circulating levels, is biologically active and capable of binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the brain. Abnormal cortisol levels are associated with psychiatric and neurological conditions including depression, schizophrenia, and Cushing's syndrome.
