Glucocorticoid exposure in late gestation permanently programs rat hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucocorticoid receptor expression and causes glucose intolerance in adult offspring [PDF]
Low birth weight in humans is predictive of insulin resistance and diabetes in adult life. The molecular mechanisms underlying this link are unknown but fetal exposure to excess glucocorticoids has been implicated, The fetus is normally protected from ...

Glucocorticoid receptor activation by long acting steroids and its modification by inflammation [PDF]
s: Glucocorticoids have an effective anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and immunomodulatory activity. Therefore this class of drugs is used worldwide for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and to prevent rejection following organ transplantation.

GR Dimerization and the Impact of GR Dimerization on GR Protein Stability and Half-Life
Pharmacologically, glucocorticoids, which mediate their effects via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), are a most effective therapy for inflammatory diseases despite the fact that chronic use causes side-effects and acquired GC resistance.

Mifepristone reduces insulin resistance in patient volunteers with adrenal incidentalomas that secrete low levels of cortisol : a pilot study [PDF]
Background: Incidental adrenal masses are commonly detected during imaging for other pathologies. 10% of the elderly population has an ‘adrenal incidentaloma’, up to 20% of these show low-grade autonomous cortisol secretion and 60% of patients with ...
