Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid under normal conditions and its actions include mobilization of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, but it does not increase under starvation conditions.

Cortisol is one of the most common GC ’ s in the human body, and hydrocortisone ( a derivative of cortisol ) decreases brain activity in the above areas during declarative memory retrieval.

Cortisol is the major stress hormone released by the adrenal gland.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, belonging to a broader class of steroids called glucocorticoids, produced by the adrenal gland and secreted during a stress response.

Cortisol is synthesized from cholesterol in the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol works with epinephrine ( adrenaline ) to create memories of short-term emotional events ; this is the proposed mechanism for storage of flash bulb memories, and may originate as a means to remember what to avoid in the future.

When one's best friend is present Cortisol levels are decreased and feelings of self-worth increase.

Cortisol is a major stress hormone and has effects on many tissues in the body, including on the brain.

) Cortisol is thought to be biologically active only when it is not bound to transcortin.

Cortisol is an adrenal steroid hormone that is required for normal endocrine function.

Cortisol deficiency in CAH is usually partial, and not the most serious problem for an affected person.

Cortisol ( or hydrocortisone ) is the most important human glucocorticoid.

Cortisol ( hydrocortisone ) is the standard of comparison for glucocorticoid potency.

Cortisol is made in times of stress.

Cortisol is a hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex which allows the body to deal with stress, which may explain the CSR-stress association.

Cortisol prevents proliferation of T-cells by rendering the interleukin-2 producer T-cells unresponsive to interleukin-1 ( IL-1 ), and unable to produce the T-cell growth factor. Cortisol also has a negative-feedback effect on interleukin-1.

Cortisol, a hormone released during stressful situations, affects the immune system greatly by preventing the production of cytokines.

* ACTH-Stimulates the synthesis and release of Cortisol ( zona fasiculata of adrenal cortex in kidneys )

* Cortisol produced in the adrenal cortex will negatively feedback to inhibit both the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.

* Cortisol awakening response, a physiological response when a person wakes up

* Cortisol awakening response

Cortisol can also exhibit mineralcorticoid activity in high concentrations, worsening the hypertension and leading to hypokalemia ( common in ectopic ACTH secretion ).

Cortisol also promotes epinephrine synthesis in the medulla.

Cortisol increases blood sugar and helps with metabolism.

Cortisol counteracts insulin, and contributes to hyperglycemia-causing hepatic gluconeogenesis and inhibits the peripheral utilization of glucose which eventually leads to insulin resistance.

Cortisol, once released, has widespread effects in the body.

Cortisol can weaken the activity of the immune system.

Cortisol receptors become desensitized leading to increased activity of the pro-inflammatory immune mediators and disturbances in neurotransmitter transmission.

Cortisol levels then fall in late evening, reaching a trough during the middle of the night.

Cortisol acts at the same receptor as the hormone aldosterone in the kidney and the effects mimic aldosterone excess, although aldosterone remains low or normal during liquorice overdose.

There it seems that the goitrogen ingested by dairy animals is itself inactive but is converted in the animal to an active goitrogen, which is then secreted in the milk.

The colour change displayed by many species is initiated by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.

The egg of an amphibian is typically surrounded by a transparent gelatinous covering secreted by the oviducts and containing mucoproteins and mucopolysaccharides.

It contains no detergents but is created by whipping up proteins and lectins secreted by the female.

Antigenicity is the ability to combine specifically with the final products of the immune response ( i. e. secreted antibodies and / or surface receptors on T-cells ).

In contrast to the direct innervation of the medulla, the cortex is regulated by neuroendocrine hormones secreted from the pituitary gland which are under the control of the hypothalamus, as well as by the renin-angiotensin system.

Antibodies can occur in two physical forms, a soluble form that is secreted from the cell, and a membrane-bound form that is attached to the surface of a B cell and is referred to as the B cell receptor ( BCR ).

Surface immunoglobulin ( Ig ) is attached to the membrane of the effector B cells by its transmembrane region, while antibodies are the secreted form of Ig and lack the trans membrane region so that antibodies can be secreted into the bloodstream and body cavities.

Osteoprotegerin is secreted by osteoblasts and is able to bind RANK-L, inhibiting osteoclast stimulation.

A prime example of bistability in biological systems is that of Sonic hedgehog ( Shh ), a secreted signaling molecule, which plays a critical role in development.

As far back as the early 2nd century, there is evidence that the codex — usually of papyrus — was the preferred format among Christians: in the library of the Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum ( buried in AD 79 ), all the texts ( Greek literature ) are scrolls ( see Herculaneum papyri ); in the Nag Hammadi " library ", secreted about AD 390, all the texts ( Gnostic Christian ) are codices.

An important part of cell biology is the investigation of molecular mechanisms by which proteins are moved to different places inside cells or secreted from cells.

In 1914, Harvey W. Cushing published conclusive evidence that the CSF is secreted by the choroid plexus.

This is mediated by signaling between adjacent cells by proteins on their surfaces, and by gradients of signaling secreted molecules.

Endocrinology ( from Greek, endo, " within ";, krīnō, " to separate "; and ,-logia ) is a branch of biology and medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases, and its specific secretions called hormones, the integration of developmental events such as proliferation, growth, and differentiation ( including histogenesis and organogenesis ) and the coordination of metabolism, respiration, excretion, movement, reproduction, and sensory perception depend on chemical cues, substances synthesized and secreted by specialized cells.

Once the old cuticle has separated from the epidermis, the digesting fluid is secreted into the space in between them.

While the old cuticle is being digested, the new layer is secreted.

After apolysis, moulting fluid is secreted into the space between the old cuticle and the epidermis ( the exuvial space ), this contains inactive enzymes which are activated only after the new epicuticle is secreted.
