Yet another 2 studies showing low carb diets raise cortisol levels.

Yet another 2 studies showing low carb diets raise cortisol levels.
They also measured cortisol breakdown products and saw higher rate in the group that ate more carbs, Additionally, this group had higher levels of cortisone the inactive version and lower levels of cortisol compared to the low carb.
The authors concluded "A low-carbohydrate diet alters cortisol metabolism independently of weight loss. In obese men, this enhances cortisol regeneration by 11B-HSD1 and reduces cortisol inactivation by A-ring
reductases in liver without affecting sc adipose 11B-HSD1. Alterations in cortisol metabolism may be a consequence of macronutrient dietary content and may mediate effects of diet on metabolic health"
