Corticosteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex. |
| | Corticosteroids are involved in a wide range of physiologic systems such as stress response, immune response and regulation of inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, protein catabolism, blood electrolyte levels, and behavior. |
| | Glucocorticoids such as cortisol control carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and are anti-inflammatory by preventing phospholipid release, decreasing eosinophil action and a number of other mechanisms. |
