Cortisol

Cortisol

Cortisol (hydrocortisone, compound F) is the most potent glucocorticoid produced by the human adrenal cortex. As with other adrenal steroids, cortisol is synthesized from cholesterol, through a series of enzymatically mediated steps, by the adrenal cortex.

The Fortress Diagnostics Cortisol kit is a colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative determination of total cortisol concentration in human serum or plasma.
