Hi, this is me again. I was wondering, has anyone tried using cortisol for chemical castration purposes?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cortisol is a corticosteroid (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticosteroid) hormone (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone) or glucocorticoid (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucocorticoid) produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the adrenal gland (

and the zona reticularis (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zona_reticularis) of the adrenal cortex (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_cortex)). It is usually referred to as the "stress hormone" as it is involved in response to stress (

WOW that is something I would love to be added to my body. Stress hormone. Increases blood pressure, blood sugar and reduces immune response. While there is clearly a medical reason to adjust your cortisol levels to treat some very presific medical conditions. I fail to see how you would come to the concussion that it would cause castration effects.
Just want a would be pre-eunuch needs. Increase problems the can effect just about every organ in your body. You looking for stroke, heart attack, diabetes to just mention a few side effects. Anti androgen drug will effect far more testosterone. While not putting the body at more stress.
