Samenvatting

Bij toenemende stress of angst wordt vaak meer cortisol in de bloedbaan gebracht. Cortisol wordt daarom wel een stresshormoon genoemd. Wij betogen dat de reactiviteit en effecten van cortisol niet alleen in het kader van angst gezien moeten worden, maar in relatie tot de overkoepelende functie van dit hormoon in de regulatie en mobilisatie van fysiologische middelen zoals glucose. Ook leggen we uit dat dit niet tegenstrijdig is met een belangrijke rol van cortisol in stressreacties, en bijvoorbeeld in het ontstaan of de instandhouding van sociale angst. Toch is het belangrijk bij onderzoek naar cortisol de overkoepelende functie van dit hormoon, namelijk regulatie en mobilisatie van fysiologische middelen, in het achterhoofd te houden.
