Connection between Cortisol and Lung Function

17/6/2012

0 Comments

 
From reading through my studies I have had a thought about the connection between cortisol production in the adrenal glands and the ability of the lungs to get oxygen across the alveoli membranes. Apparently in order for the alveoli to produce enough surfactant which is needed to help the transfer of oxygen/carbon dioxide across the membrane into the blood supply it needs adequate cortisol.

Therefore, if any person is having trouble producing enough cortisol, due to adrenal stress, or chronic inflammation in the body, which would be exhausting the cortisol supply, this can cause lung distress. Interesting thing to remember when someone seems to be having a hard time getting enough air, or feels wheezy or asthmatic or has other problems with the lungs -  think adrenals as well - things could be connected via the need for cortisol.
