Cortisol is a steroid hormone, in the glucocorticoid class of hormones. When used as a medication, it is known as hydrocortisone. It is produced in many animals, mainly by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. It is produced in other tissues in lower quantities. It is released with a diurnal cycle and its release is increased in response to stress and low blood-glucose concentration. It functions to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis, to suppress the immune system, and to aid in the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates. It also decreases bone formation. Health effects
Metabolic response
Metabolism of glucose
In general, cortisol stimulates gluconeogenesis (the synthesis of new glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, which occurs mainly in the liver, but also in the kidneys and small intestine under certain circumstances). The net effect is an increase in the concentration of glucose in the blood, further complemented by a decrease in the sensitivity of peripheral tissue to insulin, thus preventing this tissue from taking the glucose from the blood. Cortisol has a permissive effect on the actions of hormones that increase glucose production, such as glucagon and adrenaline.Cortisol also plays an important, but indirect, role in liver and muscle glycogenolysis (the breaking down of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate and glucose) which occurs as a result of the action of glucagon and adrenaline. Additionally, cortisol facilitates the activation of glycogen phosphorylase, which is necessary for adrenaline to have an effect on glycogenolysis.Paradoxically, cortisol promotes not only gluconeogenesis in the liver, but also glycogenesis.

Caught A Black Rabbit (2020)
In August 2019, photos were shared of the band recording at Abbey Road Studios. On the 23rd June the band shared the first track from the upcoming album, Intro. Their second album Caught A Black Rabbit was announced on Facebook, and is due for release on the 13th November 2020. It has been described by the band as contemporary classical. The first single from the album, Current was premiered on Clash on the 23rd of July. Trewin Howard said about the song, "We all have hidden depths, through which our vulnerable excitement flows... sometimes a storm will brew and the glassy surface that hides it all is disturbed,"  Circuit Sweet wrote ‘It’s a harrowing orchestration, a feeling of courage shines deep within this elegant track. This is such a beautiful and powerful release.’

Style
Phoria draw on a range of musical genres to create their sound. In the days of Yourself Still, chordal guitar figures and often dense instrumentation drew comparisons to such bands as Radiohead, Sigur Rós, and Mew. The music blog therecommender.net, when reviewing preview material from the bands then forthcoming Bloodworks EP, wrote This...isnt just reminiscent of Radiohead, this is reminiscent of Radiohead at their best. Martin Grech, Cinematic Orchestra, and Elbow are also major influences. The band have more recently been compared favourably to Aphex Twin, Autechre, and James Blake.
