Hypercatabolic syndrome (HS) is a biochemical state characterized by increased circulating catabolic hormones (eg, cortisol, catecholamines) and inflammatory cytokines (eg, tumor necrosis factors, interleukin–1β), and decreased anabolic insulin effects with consequent insulin resistance. nothing to do with starvation. in usa iirc,in usa 20k people died in 2022 or so from malnutrition. were they also in blockaded zone ? or is it just happens so that malnutrition is a complex thing that not always affected by food supply

  Cortisol is a steroid hormone, often referred to as the "stress hormone," that plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions and responding to stress. It is produced by the adrenal glands and its release is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. While essential for life, imbalances in cortisol levels can lead to various health issues. adrenal glands disfunction can cause elevated levels of cortisol. adrenal glands also responsible for catecholamines. adrenal glands disfunction can be caused by diabetes, leukamia or number of other conditions. wait till you learn about auto-immune disorders.

    > wait till you learn about auto-immune disorders I have one. Even wound up in the hospital for a week with a cytokine storm. Guess how well I'd have done recovering in a place with every hospital reduced to rubble and no food available?
