Here’s a summary table of Cortisol’s Dual Role in Inflammation based on your text:
🔥 Summary Table – Cortisol’s Dual Role in Inflammation
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| What is Inflammation? | The body's natural response to illness, injury, or harmful invaders (like germs or toxins). |
| Cortisol’s Natural Rhythm | Peaks in the morning, declines at night—this rhythm is key for healthy regulation. |
| Anti-Inflammatory Role | Morning cortisol suppresses inflammation, helping keep immune responses in check. |
| Why Symptoms Worsen at Night | Lower nighttime cortisol = less inflammation control, leading to worsened symptoms (e.g., cold, asthma). |
| Chronic Cortisol Elevation | Long-term stress = persistently high cortisol → immune desensitization. |
| Impact of Chronic Elevation | Immune cells stop responding well to cortisol → prolonged inflammation, infection risk, and slower recovery. |
