Cortisone is a type of Glucocorticoid Corticosteroid Adrenal Hormone produced by the Adrenal Cortex of the Adrenal Glands.  It is chemically similar to Cortisol.

Nervous System

 Cortisone helps to regulate the Brain’s utilization of Glucose.

 Insufficient endogenous production of Cortisone can result in Memory impairment:  ^[1]

 Caution:  excessive Cortisone production or excessive Cortisone replacement therapy is toxic.

 Cortisone is manufactured and released as a result of Stress and causes adaptive physiological changes to occur that allow the body to cope with Stress

 Caution:  excessive quantities of Cortisone are released in persons who are subjected to excessive Stress and these large quantities of released Cortisone are toxic to the body.

Skin

 Insufficient production of Cortisone may be an underlying cause of Eczema.  ^[2]

Carbohydrate

 Cortisone increases the synthesis of endogenous Glucose to prepare the body for the "fight or flight" response.
