cortisol

Cortisol sulfate (Cortisol 21-sulfate) is a metabolite of Cortisol . Cortisol sulfate is a specific ligand for intracellular transcortin [1] [2] [3] .

Tetrahydro-11-deoxy cortisol (THS) is the primary urinary metabolite of 11-deoxycortisol. Urinary excretion of THS is elevated in patients with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency, a condition resulting from mutations in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP11B1. Urinary levels of THS are also elevated in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) and adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) but are higher in patients with ACC compared to ACA.

Hydrocortisone (Cortisol) is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenocortex. Hydrocortisone agonizes the glucocorticoid receptor, which promotes proteolytic metabolism, gluconeogenesis, capillary wall stabilization, and renal calcium excretion, as well as suppressing immune and inflammatory responses.

Hydrocortisone acetate (Cortisol 21-acetate) is the synthetic acetate salt form of hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.

The urinary Tetrahydrocortisol/Tetrahydrocortisone ratio decreases with increasing 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. Tetrahydrocortisol is cortisol metabolite.

Cortisone (17-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone) is a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity.

Allotetrahydrocortisol (5a-Tetrahydrocortisol) is a metabolite of Cortisol. Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid in human.

Cortodoxone (11-Desoxycortisol) is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cortisol in the adrenal gland.

18-Oxocortisol is a cortisol derivative generated by aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). It acts as a naturally occurring mineralocorticoid agonist and serves as a biomarker in adrenal vein sampling.

21-Deoxycortisol is a corticosteroid metabolite of 17-hydroxyprogesterone produced in the adrenal glandvia11-hydroxylation by 11β-hydroxylase.1,2Serum levels of 21-deoxycortisol are elevated in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia that are heterozygous for mutations inCYP2A21, the gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase, and have been used as a biomarker for the detection of 21-hydroxylase deficiencies. 1.Fiet, J., Villette, J.-M., Galons, H., et al.The application of a new highly-sensitive radioimmunoassay for plasma 21-deoxycortisol to the detection of steroid-21-hydroxylase deficiencyAnn.

Cortisone Acetate is a synthetic or semisynthetic analog of the naturally occurring cortisone hormone produced by the adrenal glands with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. Cortisone acetate (NSC-49420) diffuses through the cell membrane and binds to nuclear glucocorticoid receptors. The receptor-ligand complex binds to promotor regions of certain genes and initiates RNA transcription. This results in an induction of synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators.
