title: Erythrocyte-associated component of blood cortisol.
abstract: We propose that erythrocyte-associated cortisol is one of the significant components of blood cortisol that should be taken into account in studies of the physiology and pathophysiology of cortisol transport. We suggest that the model system used for determination of the erythrocyte partitioning coefficient may have applications in studies of the uptake of cortisol by tissues.
