Glucocorticoids are the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment for allergic diseases, and inhaled glucocorticoids have now become the first-line treatment for asthma. Glucocorticoids were discovered in the 1940s as extracts of the adrenal cortex and this was followed by the isolation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from pituitary gland ...

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2002
Postmenopausal women are at greatest risk of rapid bone loss and fracture with glucocorticoids and should be actively considered for prophylactic measures. In men and premenopausal women receiving glucocorticoids, the decision to use anti-osteoporosis prophylaxis is less clear and depends upon baseline bone mineral density [BMD], anticipated dose and ...

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2002
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.

Glucocorticoid-remediable Aldosteronism
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2011Glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA) is a hereditary form of primary hyperaldosteronism and the most common monogenic cause of hypertension. A chimeric gene duplication leads to ectopic aldosterone synthase activity in the cortisol-producing zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex, under the regulation of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH ...

Glucocorticoid Feedback Resistance
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1997Glucocorticoid feedback resistance can be inherited or locally acquired. The implications of these two forms of resistance for disease are strikingly different. The inherited form is characterized by enhanced adrenocortical function and hypercorticism to compensate for a generalized deficit in the glucocorticoid receptor gene, but these individuals ...

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 ...

Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2003Osteoporosis is a common and serious complication of glucocorticoid therapy, resulting in increased risk of fragility fractures. Recent studies indicate that fracture risk is increased even at low doses of glucocorticoids and that this increased risk is seen soon after the commencement of glucocorticoid therapy.

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1998Glucocorticoid drugs interact with bone metabolism at many levels, but their principal action is to reduce osteoblast number and bone matrix synthesis. Virtually all patients receiving glucocorticoids in doses above 5 mg per day lose bone, the amount lost being dependent on the cumulative steroid dose.
