importance of cortisol - ANSWER✔✔-no cortisol = dead within days


Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison's Disease) - ANSWER✔✔-below normal

levels of cortisol. People with adrenal insufficency will be weak because

cortisol puts energy in the system, have low glucose levels because cortisol

impacts the liver to increase plasma glucose levels, and low BP because less

nor/epinephrine will be released.


Hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome) - ANSWER✔✔--high glucose (can

be mistaken for diabetes)


-low immune system (cortisol suppresses immune system)


-fragile bones (cortisol breaks down bones and muscles for energy)


-distinct obesity pattern: stores extra energy aka fat resources in fat

reserves close to vital organs (puffy cheeks)
