1. corticoid

   Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. Two main classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including stress response, immune response, and regulation of inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, protein catabolism, blood electrolyte levels, and behavior.Some common naturally occurring steroid hormones are cortisol (C21H30O5), corticosterone (C21H30O4), cortisone (C21H28O5) and aldosterone (C21H28O5). (Note that cortisone and aldosterone are isomers.) The main corticosteroids produced by the adrenal cortex are cortisol and aldosterone.

1. corticoid

   A corticoid is a general term referring to a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. This group of hormones includes glucocorticoids, which influence metabolism and immune response, and mineralocorticoids, which maintain salt and water balance in the body. The term "corticoid" is also used to refer to synthetic drugs that mimic the actions of these hormones, like cortisone and prednisone. These drugs are often used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
