MountainQueen Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I came across this article on line from a Muscle Building/Weight Lifting site (see what happens when you Google Cortisol, ). The article is interesting in it's explanation of the metabolism of Cholesterol to Cortisol. It also does a nice job explaining the inter-relatinship of all the hormones that run your body. If you ignor the weight lifting/excersise stuff, it's a pretty good article! http://www.thinkmuscle.com/ARTICLES/jalali/cortisol.htm MountainQueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanM Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thanks for the article. I disagree with one thing --- it says that cortisol is at its highest early in the morning and at bedtime. Don't think they have that right --- midnight is at its lowest.

MCF Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I know that cortisol levels are why some screwy body builders inject insulin post workout, because insulin inhibits steroid production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
