Application
Exploring Microemulsion Systems for the Incorporation of Glucocorticoids into Bacterial Cellulose: This research presents a novel method for embedding hydrocortisone into bacterial cellulose using microemulsion systems, highlighting its potential for creating anti-inflammatory wound dressings, a significant advancement in pharmaceutical design and material science (Zahel et al., 2024).
Research progress in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome through interventions targeting the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis: This review discusses the role of hydrocortisone in treating chronic fatigue syndrome by modulating the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, providing a comprehensive overview of its therapeutic applications in endocrinology (Zhang and Wang, 2024).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Primary glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex.
Primary glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex. It has three times the anti-inflammatory potency of corticosterone but much lower Na2+ retention potency.
Physical form
powder-RT; stock-frozen in working aliquots, avoid repeated freeze/thaw
