It is produced from the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Hydrocortisone interacts with glucocorticoid receptors and regulates various signaling pathways. It is associated with the induction of energy mobilization, increase in cerebral perfusion rates and local glucose consumption. It is also linked with increase in cardiovascular output and respiration, redistribution of blood, delivery of molecules and energy to the brain and muscles and modulation of immune responses._x000D_ Primary glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex.
