Cortisone is a corticosteroid that is itself biologically inactive and is formed naturally in the adrenal gland (adrenal cortex) from the active hormone cortisol. Cortisol promotes the synthesis and storage of glucose and important in the normal response to stress, suppresses inflammation and regulates deposition of fat in body.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter secreted from the nerve endings.
Epinephrine and nor-epinephrine are secreted from the medulla of adrenal gland and these also acts as neurotransmitter.
