Glucocorticoid hormone is produced in the adrenal gland, . Much like adrenaline, this hormone is released during stressful situations by the body. It helps to regulate the metabolism of glucose and other organic fuels in the body. Glucocorticoids have inhibitory effects on a broad range of specific immune responses mediated by T cells and B cells, as well as potent suppressive effects on the effector functions of phagocytes. Because of their inhibitory effects on both acquired and innate immunologic function, glucocorticoids are remarkably efficacious in managing many of the acute disease manifestations of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders .

Low leptin levels are found in cases of starvation anorexia and bulimia?
Leptin is the protein that naturally exists in the human body that regulates hunger sensations in the body.

Do insulin-dependent diabetics ever inject themselves with glucagon or cortisol?
Glucagon, yes. Cortisol, probably not. Glucagon raises blood sugar. Many type one diabetics own glucagon injectors, so that when their blood sugar goes too low they (or someone with them) can inject them with glucagon. Cortisol does raise blood sugar, but it is not used to raise blood sugar. It's used to treat many other diseases, but not the low blood sugar which type 1 diabetics sometimes get.
