Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced in the human body by the adrenal gland. It regulates many metabolic processes, including the breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins. In addition to its role as a hormone, cortisol has important anti-inflammatory properties. Cortisol levels are typically highest in the morning, with levels gradually decreasing throughout the day. Levels of cortisol can also be measured in blood, urine, or amniotic fluid. These measurements can be used to diagnose certain diseases or conditions such as Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease.
