glucose + cortex + steroid
Prostaglandins widen blood vessels and block the aggregation of blood platelets.
Prostaglandins are involved in inflammation through widening blood vessels (vasodilation).
Glucocorticoids "steroids" reduce inflammation
Three types of corticosteroids: androgens, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids
Glucocorticoids stimulate increased glucose levels
Glucocorticoids cause storing of fat (lipogenesis)
Glucocorticoids block actions of arachidonic acid
Blocked arachidonic acid leads to decrease of prostaglandins and leukotrienes
Corticosteroids block phagocytes from reaching injures tissue
