Antique Framed Print : Cortisol crystals, light micrograph
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Cortisol crystals, light micrograph
Cortisol crystals, polarised light micrograph. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. It is released in response to stress, and increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Cortisol also suppresses the immune system, so is used in medicine (known as hydrocortisone) as an anti-inflammatory and to treat allergies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of cortisol crystals under polarised light. Cortisol, a vital steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, plays a crucial role in our body's response to stress. As we face challenging situations, cortisol is released into our bloodstream, elevating blood pressure and sugar levels. Beyond its influence on physiological processes, cortisol also possesses remarkable medicinal properties. In medicine, it is commonly known as hydrocortisone and serves as an anti-inflammatory agent and allergy treatment due to its ability to suppress the immune system. The crystal's vibrant colors add an artistic touch to this biological marvel captured through a light microscope. The image not only highlights the compound's crystalline structure but also symbolizes the complex interplay between biology and chemistry within our bodies. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of biochemistry and endocrinology while reminding us of how hormones like cortisol regulate various bodily functions. As we explore this mesmerizing photograph from Science Photo Library, let us appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance. Through such visual representations, we gain insight into the wonders of nature that often go unnoticed in our everyday lives.
