什麼是皮質醇: 壓力荷爾蒙的全面解析   皮質醇的基本概念 皮質醇的定義和功能 皮質醇是一種由腎上腺皮質分泌的類固醇荷爾蒙，屬於糖皮質激素的一種。它在人體中具有多重功能，包括： 應對壓力：當身體面臨壓力時，皮質醇水平會上升，幫助身體應對挑戰。 代謝調節：促進蛋白質分解、脂肪代謝以及糖的生成，維持血糖穩定。 免疫抑制：調節免疫反應，防止過度的炎症反應。 心血管功能：影響心臟功能和血壓調節。 皮質醇在人體中的產生過程 皮質醇的分泌受下丘腦-垂體-腎上腺軸（HPA軸）的調控。具體過程如下： 下丘腦釋放促腎上腺皮質激素釋放激素（CRH）。 垂體前葉接收到CRH信號後，分泌促腎上腺皮質激素（ACTH）。 ACTH刺激腎上腺皮質分泌皮質醇。 這一過程形成負反饋機制，當皮質醇水平升高時，下丘腦和垂體的分泌活動會減少，以維持荷爾蒙的平衡。 正常皮質醇水平範圍 皮質醇水平會受到時間、壓力和健康狀況的影響。一般來說，正常的皮質醇水平範圍如下： 測試時間 正常範圍（微克/分升） 早晨（約8點） 10-20 下午（約4點） 3-10 晚上（約12點） 1-5 這些數值可能因實驗室標準和個體差異而有所不同，因此在解讀檢測結果時，應參考具體的實驗室參考範圍。 皮質醇對人體的影響 皮質醇與壓力反應 當身體面臨壓力時，皮質醇的分泌會迅速增加，幫助身體應對挑戰。這一過程包括：...
