| | Le Magazine, July 2004 - Report: Cortisol |
 | | Cortisol has short-term anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it was used to treat arthritis when first made available as a drug in the 1950s. | | | Cortisol is an essential hormone that plays many vital roles, including helping the human body adapt to stress. | | | Thus it is critical to maintain cortisol levels within a healthy range. |

| | Flex: Cortisol control: learning to control this muscle-eroding hormone will increase your muscle mass |
| | Another benefit is that when you keep cortisol levels under control, it's easier for your muscles to "carb up." With escalating cortisol levels, muscles experience a downgrade in their ability to uptake carbs and deposit them as stored muscle glycogen. | | | Multiple meals--at any calorie level--will result in greater cortisol control than less-frequent meals, and we know keeping cortisol in check yields less fat, more muscle, better recovery and more energy. | | | Exercises such as squats, deadlifts and bench presses are the most effective at stimulating muscle growth while helping to limit total training volume. |

| | This suggests that individuals may reach homeostasis during the 24 hours after hard training and that intense training does not cause an extended increase in cortisol levels.3 Fahey's research also indicates that 800 mg of PS may effectively suppress cortisol and diminish muscle soreness. | | | After this last workout, cortisol levels were 20 percent lower in the subjects taking PS. | | | Exit interviews showed that the subjects taking PS felt better, had less muscle soreness, and their perceived exertion dropped. |

| | It is possible that this equilibrium may permit the body to change cortisol glucose responses for particular kinds of situations. | | | An indication of this last is that loss of collagen from skin by cortisol is ten times greater than from all other tissue in the rat. | | | In most mammals, a wide range of processes are stimulated by cortisol, each of which would make an animal less able to resist potassium and water wasting intestinal disease. |

| | Cortisol, usually referred to as hydrocortisone when used medicinally, is more potent than cortisone with respect to metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects. | | | Like cortisone, cortisol is classed as a glucocorticoid; it stimulates liver glycogen formation while it decreases the rate of glucose utilization in body cells. | | | Cortisol is synthesized and secreted by the adrenal cortex in response to the stimulating substance adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). |
