Cortisol and cytokines are both physiological mediators involved in the stress response [1] and are frequently studied together in the context of circadian rhythms {fact:2, fact:4} and disease-related hormonal disruptions {fact:5, fact:6}. Furthermore, cortisol acts as an immune regulator by inhibiting the production of cytokines [2].

claimA decreased stress response and rapid return to physiological and emotional baseline involves physiological mediators including catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), glucocorticoids (cortisol), pituitary hormones (ACTH, prolactin, and growth hormones), and cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α).
