Cortisol crystals, as seen in these light micrographs (C015/6786, C015/6786), are formed when this essential steroid hormone crystallizes out of solution. Cortisol, along with corticosterone (molecule shown), plays a crucial role in the body's stress response. These hormones bind to proteins like cortisol-binding globulin (molecule F006/9281) and transport them through the bloodstream. Fluticasone (molecule F008/3400), a synthetic corticosteroid used in asthma medication, also interacts with cortisol-binding globulin. Hydrocortisone ointment (F008/3400) is a common form of this hormone used for topical treatment of various inflammatory conditions. Understanding the structure and function of these steroid hormones is essential for developing new treatments and therapeutics.
