El cortisol (hidrocortisona) es una hormona esteroidea, o glucocorticoide, producida por la capa fascicular de la corteza de la glándula suprarrenal. Se libera como respuesta al estrés y a un nivel bajo de glucosa en la sangre. Sus funciones principales son incrementar el nivel de azúcar en la sangre (glucemia) a través de la gluconeogénesis, suprimir el sistema inmunológico y ayudar al metabolismo de las grasas, proteínas y carbohidratos. Además, disminuye la formación ósea. Varias formas sintéticas de cortisol se usan para tratar una gran variedad de enfermedades diferentes. En el ser humano, estudios cinéticos de la conversión del colesterol libre del plasma en cortisol han demostrado que, en esencia, todo el cortisol secretado deriva del colesterol circulante en condiciones basales y como resultado de la estimulación aguda con adrenocorticotropina (ACTH).
