The primary glucocorticosteroid in humans is cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone. It is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress reactions. Cortisol helps maintain blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and assist with the body's response to stress. Its secretion is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
