Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Going to correct myself here. I really should do this before I answer. Cortisone is the inactive precursor to cortisol. Essentially, inactive cortisone converts to active cortisol. Both are steroidal. Only cortisol is active. I'm trying to figure out now how cortisone is released and why it converts to cortisol (does it always convert to cortisol or only with stressors). Much fun, this stuff is! --- Weaver wrote: > > Actually, cortisol is the stress hormone.
