• Description: Applications 20β-Dihydrocortisone is a metabolite of Cortisol (H714615), a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland. Cortisol 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.References Reach, G., et. al.: Steroids, 30, 621 (1977); Vigore, L., et al.: Cancer Ther., 6, 699 (2008); Puurunen, J., et al.: J.
