Fine Art Print : Cortisol hormone molecule
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Cortisol hormone molecule
Cortisol hormone molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the steroid hormone cortisol. Atoms are represented as blobs and are colour-coded: carbon (green), hydrogen (blue) and oxygen (red). Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. It is produced in response to stress and increases blood pressure, blood sugar levels and suppresses the immune system. Due to its effect on the immune system cortisol is also used in medicine, when it is referred to a hydrocortisone, to treat allergies and as an anti-inflammatory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the cortisol hormone molecule, an essential component in our body's response to stress. The intricate structure is beautifully represented with atoms depicted as colorful blobs: carbon in green, hydrogen in blue, and oxygen in red. Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands situated atop our kidneys and plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. When we encounter stressful situations, cortisol levels rise, leading to increased blood pressure and blood sugar levels while simultaneously suppressing our immune system. Beyond its natural function, cortisol also finds application within medicine under the name hydrocortisone. This versatile hormone is employed to treat allergies and serve as an anti-inflammatory agent due to its impact on the immune system. Its molecular properties make it an invaluable compound for medical purposes. The photograph not only captures the scientific essence of this vital hormone but also highlights its significance within endocrinology and biochemistry fields. It serves as a reminder of how molecules like cortisol shape our understanding of human physiology and pave the way for innovative medical advancements. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a visually stunning piece that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific knowledge—a testament to their commitment to showcasing compelling visuals from diverse scientific disciplines without any commercial intent.
