Cortisol
Cortisol is a glucocorticoid results from a complex of endocrine reactions under stress and it is responsible for releasing amino acids into the bloodstream. These amino acids are used by the liver, within gluconeogenesis, in order to synthesize glucose. In this way, cortisol releases fatty acids from endogenous storage so that muscular cells can use them as energy for a rapid response, turning this glucocorticoid into a diabetogenic hormone.
The human body secretes diabetogenic hormones such as cortisol in stress, it has been identified that in patients with diabetes there is an increase in cortisol.
