Part of the book series: Biochemical Endocrinology ((BIOEND))

Abstract

The important role of glucocorticoids in the stress pathogenesis is characterised by two main points: a rise in plasma concentration of glucocorticoids (GC) and protection against stress by glucocorticoid hormones. Yet, the mechanism of these effects is poorly understood.
