Roberts KD, Bandy L, Lieberman S: The occurrence and metabolism of 20a-hydroxycholesterol in bovine adrenal preparations. Lieberman S, Greenfield NJ, Wolfson A: A heuristic proposal for understanding steroidogenic processes. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
The application of these principles to the diagnostic testing of patients with disordered adrenocortical function is also discussed.
This chapter focuses on the synthesis, transport, regulatory control, and physiological actions of glucocorticoids. The synthesis of glucocorticoids by the adrenal cortex and the regulatory mechanisms that govern the interplay between the adrenal cortex and the hypothalamic pituitary unit are fascinating examples of physiology applied to clinical medicine. The characterization of the structure of various adrenal hormones and the synthesis of these hormones for therapeutic use represent major strides during the fourth and fifth decades of this century. Cortisol is a hormone essential for life. It has been said that not all hormones are created equal some hormones are necessary for life, while other hormones make life worth living.
