Glucocorticoids ... promote the manufacture of glucose out of protein and fat stored in the body. Their intense release, along with the release of adrenaline, is part of the flight-or-fight response to times of heightened, short-term stress (a mugging say, or a job interview). 1, record 1, English, - flight%2Dor%2Dfight%20response

Reacción de lucha o huida. Se manifiesta cuando el individuo enfrenta un peligro grave, inminente. En esta circunstancia, el cerebro del sujeto inmediatamente envía un mensaje bioquímico (neurotransmisor) que provoca la liberación de catecolaminas: hormonas tales como la adrenalina y la noradrenalina, para dar la señal de alarma al sujeto. Estas catecolaminas provocan la descarga inmediata de grasa y azúcares que vuelcan inmediatamente en su sangre para proveerle una rápida inyección de energía. Aumenta su respiración anticipándose al aumento del requerimiento de oxígeno y para el transporte de ese oxígeno extra se incrementa su presión arterial y frecuencia cardíaca. Cuando pasa el peligro, el organismo vuelve a la normalidad paulatinamente. La respuesta aguda es una reacción natural y necesaria del organismo y que permite la supervivencia. 1, record 1, Spanish, - reacci%C3%B3n%20de%20lucha%20o%20huida
