What is cortisol?

“Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone, which is produced and released by the adrenal glands. This is an essential hormone which regulates the body’s response to stress, controls body’s use of fats, proteins & carbohydrates, suppresses inflammation, controls blood sugar & blood pressure, and most important the sleep-wake cycle. It is commonly referred to as the stress hormone,” stated Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad.
