Danville (Illinois) Commercial News (Feb. 14) – “Cushing’s disease is caused by chronic, excessive exposure to cortisol,” explains Dr. Alyssa Baratta-Martin, a primary care veterinarian at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which sit near the kidneys and play an important role in stress response, metabolism, and immune function.
