A ball‑and‑stick structural diagram of a steroid hormone molecule displaying the cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core with multiple hydroxyl (–OH) groups and two ketone (C=O) functions. In biological hierarchy, this molecule is a glucocorticoid within the endocrine system, synthesized in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex. Studied in biochemistry and endocrinology, it regulates glucose metabolism, immune modulation, and stress responses via the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Site of action is systemic, affecting liver, immune cells, and other tissues.
