Detailed Solution

Cortisol produces anti-inflammatory reactions and suppresses the immune response.

Cortisol accelerates  foetal lung maturation and the production of surfactant.

Cortisol contributes to hyperglycemia by stimulating gluconeogenesis and inhibits the peripheral use of glucose (insulin resistance) by decreasing the translocation of glucose transporters (especially GLUT4) to the cell membrane.
