Research Notes on Cortisol


Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone often referred to as the "stress hormone" as it is involved in the body's response to stress. Tests for cortisol are used to help diagnose two serious adrenal disorders: Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease. Recently cortisol has also been linked, at least through advertising claims, with weight gain.
