The regulated release of hormones, substances with a specific regulatory effect on a particular organ or group of cells. The process by which a hormone is secreted into the circulatory system. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the controlled release of a substance from a cell or group of cells. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of a hormone from a cell or group of cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of a hormone from a cell or group of cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of cortisol from a cell or group of cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of an endocrine process, a process involving the secretion of or response to endocrine hormones. An endocrine hormone is a hormone released into the circulatory system. The regulated release of cortisol, a steroid hormone that in humans is the major circulating hormone of the cortex, or outer layer, of the adrenal gland. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of cortisol from a cell or group of cells.
