Glucocorticoids are the most effective anti-inflammatory agents known. However, the use of these powerful molecules is plagued by a host of serious, sometimes life-threatening side-effects. The search for new compounds that maintain the efficacy of the steroids without some of the side-effects has entered a new phase.

Since the last meta-analysis in 1989, a number of randomised trials on the benefit of glucocorticoids have been published, resulting in an increasing interest in the use of glucocorticoids to treat outpatients with croup. The objective of this review was to provide evidence to guide clinicians in their treatment of patients with croup, to examine the ...

Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis and the most frequent cause of osteoporosis in young people. Bone loss and fracture risk increase rapidly after the initiation of corticosteroid therapy and are proportional to dose and treatment duration.

Glucocorticoids act on calcium metabolism at many levels to produce osteoporosis, the major pathogenic effect probably being an inhibition of bone formation. In men, this is likely to be contributed to by a dose-related reduction in circulating testosterone concentrations.

Macrophages and the glucocorticoids
Journal of Neuroimmunology, 1992Macrophages fulfill such functions as (i) housekeeping and scavenging, (ii) protective and defense, and (iii) memory. Glucocorticoids are hormones also used as anti-inflammatory and immuno-suppressive drugs. They act on the many functions of macrophages, mainly by interfering with functions (ii) and (iii).

Glucocorticoids contribute fundamentally to the maintenance of basal and stress-related homeostasis in all higher organisms. The major roles of these steroids in physiology are amply matched by their remarkable contributions to pathology. Glucocorticoid resistance is a rare familial, or sporadic condition characterized by partial end-organ ...

Corticosteroids are highly effective anti-inflammatory therapy in asthma, and the molecular mechanisms involved in suppression of allergic inflammation are now better understood (Barnes 1998, 2001). Corticosteroids are effective clinically because they block many of the inflammatory pathways that are abnormally activated in asthma and they have a very ...

More than 30 years ago the first report concerning the therapeutic use of glucocorticoids appeared. Even if the pediatrician is aware of the large number of clinical and experimental studies that have accumulated during the past three decades he is still faced with the uncertainties of corticosteroid therapy in children’s diseases especially with ...
