Glucocorticoids

Gluco- is sugary (sukkariyya) and corticoid is from cortex (qeshra). Good luck!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Shog Imas : The name glucocorticoid (glucose + cortex + steroid) derives from their role in the regulation of the metabolism of glucose, their synthesis in the *adrenal cortex*, and their steroidal structure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucocorticoid
