Omega-3 fatty acid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omega−3 fatty acids (popularly referred to as ω−3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids) are fats commonly found in marine and plant oils. N-3 fatty acids have many health benefits and are considered essential fatty acids, meaning that they cannot be synthesized by the human body but are vital for normal metabolism.
Cortisol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cortisol (hydrocortisone) is a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland. It is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. It also decreases bone formation.
