Diagram of human body highlighting organs affected by cortisol with descriptions of effects

The image is a detailed medical illustration showing the effects of cortisol, the stress hormone, on various human organs under chronic stress. It features a human body with highlighted organs including the brain, immune system, heart, stomach and intestines, muscle, liver, pancreas, reproductive system, and fat tissue. Each organ is accompanied by labels explaining specific impacts such as impaired memory in the brain, suppressed immunity in the thymus, increased heart rate, slowed digestion, muscle weakness, increased glucose production, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance in females, and abdominal fat promotion. The adrenal cortex is depicted as the source of cortisol release. The background includes faint DNA helix patterns, enhancing the scientific context.
