Summary

This study looked at how natural cannabis-like chemicals in the body (endocannabinoids) interact with the stress hormone cortisol in people with Cushing's syndrome. Researchers measured these chemicals in 40 adults to see if cortisol levels affect endocannabinoid activity. The goal was to better understand the disease, not to test a treatment.
