- Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid hormone released by the body in response to stress, with chronic cortisol levels leading to various pathophysiologies.This hormone is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a complex neuroendocrinological system . Most cortisol in blood (90%) is bound to a carrier protein, cortisol binding globulin (CBG), with free cortisol only making up 5-10% of the total cortisol in circulation.Only free cortisol is biologically active, with bound cortisol being physiologically inactive. Cortisol controls a wide range of physiological processes, such as promoting gluconeogenesis, reducing inflammation, suppressing the immune system and modulating cognitive processes.These responses anticipate and assist the body's adaptation to stressful conditions by providing energy for awakening, fuelling a "fight or flight" response, and diverting resources to deal with a stressor.
