Is there anything that can reduce cortisol?

Posted by SLS on December 23, 2004, at 8:23:44

Forgive me if this question has been answered before. I would like to try to either reduce the secretion of cortisol from the adrenal glands or block cortisol receptors or somehow reduce the effects that cortisol has in the body.

Drugs that block CRH (CRH1) receptors are currently being investigated for the treatment of depression. Among other things, these drugs effectively reduce adrenal secretion of cortisol by inhibiting the pituitary from manufacturing ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone).
