Uses
Cortisol sulfate sodium salt, a derivative of the hormone cortisol, plays a crucial role in numerous physiological processes. Its applications in metabolomics extend to studying stress response, adrenal function, metabolism, and its links to conditions like obesity, diabetes, and psychiatric disorders. This versatile molecule is extensively utilized in biochemical and metabolomics research for its diverse applications.
Biological Activity
Cortisol sulfate sodium (Cortisol 21-sulfate) is a metabolite of Cortisol . Cortisol sulfate sodium is a specific ligand for intracellular transcortin[1][2][3].
Cortisol sulfate sodium (3 mg; i.m.; every other day; for 2-7 weeks) affects behavior through its direct action on the central nervous system[4].
