corticoids

• “The adrenals intensify their output of adrenalin into your bloodstream, along with a family of related hormones called corticoids.”

  Simon & Schuster: Stress and the Manager

• “In situations of considerable stress, our adrenal glands produce adrenaline and a group of hormones that I have called "corticoids"; of these, cortisone is perhaps the best known.”

  How To Cope With Stress

• “Corticosteroids, also called cortisone, corticoids, or steroids, represent a powerful and commonly used therapy for allergies 4.”

  The Huffington Post: Dr. Richard Palmquist: Does Your Pet Have Allergies?

• “Thus, anti-inflammatory corticoids have proved effective in treating diseases whose major complaint is inflammation of the joints, eyes, or respiratory passages.”

  Simon & Schuster: Handbook of Stress

• “The corticoids also facilitate various other enzyme responses and suppress immune reactions and inflammation, thereby helping the body to coexist with potential pathogens.”

  Simon & Schuster: Handbook of Stress

• “In addition, through a long-loop feedback, a high blood level of corticoids similarly inhibits too much ACTH secretion.”

  Simon & Schuster: Handbook of Stress

• “ACTH, reaching the adrenal cortex, triggers the secretion of corticoids, mainly glucocorticoids such as cortisol or corticosterone.”

  Simon & Schuster: Handbook of Stress

• “Usually secreted in lesser amounts are the pro-inflammatory corticoids, which stimulate the proliferative ability and reactivity of the connective tissue, enhancing the inflammatory potential.”

  Simon & Schuster: Handbook of Stress

• “The relationship between ACTH and the corticoids is analogous to that between TSH and the thyroid hormones.”

  The Human Brain

• “The body must shift balance radically to meet such changes and survive, and the burden of directing such changes seems to fall upon the corticoids.”
