AB The  corticosteroids  are  steroid  hormones  produced  by  the  adrenal  cortex.  They  consist  of  two  major  physiologic  and  pharmacologic  groups:  (1)  glucocorticoids,  which  have  important  effects  on  carbohydrate,  fat  and  protein  metabolism,  catabolism,  immune  responses,  and  inflammation;  and  (2)  mineralocorticoids,  which  regulate  sodium  and  potassium  reabsorption  in  the  collecting  tubules  of  the  kidney.  This  chapter  reviews  the  glucocorticoids,  the  mineralocorticoids,  and  the  corticosteroid  antagonists.
