Hormone produced during allergic reaction is
glucocorticoids. Allergic reactions typically have an adrenal
component. Cortisols one of the primary hormones produced
by the adrenal glands, is a strong anti-inflammatory agent.
For this reason proper adrenal function plays an important
role in mediating the histamine release and inflammatory
reactions that produce the symptoms experienced with
allergies. Glucocorticoids are part of the feedback mechanism
in the immune system that turns immune activity
(inflammation) down. They are therefore used in medicine to
treat diseases caused by an overactive immune system, such
as allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and sepsis.
