It plays an important role in regulating blood pressure, digesting food, and physiologically adapting to stressful situations. In the liver, it promotes the breakdown of starch (glycogen) into glucose, the breakdown of fats and proteins, and the production of sugars from amino acids (gluconeogenesis). It has antiallergic and anti-inflammatory effects. Cortisol levels are normally high in the morning and then decrease during the day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_custom_1607005696398\" >What can cause high cortisol levels?<\/h4>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Excessive cortisol levels can also be a sign of Cushing&#8217;s syndrome.
