Question 3

3. How does cortisol induce hypertension?

Accepted Answer

The leading cause of cortisol-induced hypertension is the retention of sodium and volume expansion in the body. Though the process through which cortisol steroid hormone causes an increase in blood pressure is under research, studies claim that hypertension induced by cortisol hormone occurs due to reduced activity of the nitric oxide depressor system that raises ET[10] levels in the body.
