Common myths of glucocorticoid function in ecology and conservation.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2021
Glucocorticoids are popular hormones to measure in both biomedical and ecological studies of stress. Many assumptions used to interpret glucocorticoid results are derived from biomedical data on humans or laboratory rodents, but these assumptions often ...

Maternal care, hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responses to stress.

Science, 1997
Variations in maternal care affect the development of individual differences in neuroendocrine responses to stress in rats. As adults, the offspring of mothers that exhibited more licking and grooming of pups during the first 10 days of life showed ...

Glucocorticoid induced adrenal insufficiency

British medical journal, 2021
Synthetic glucocorticoids are widely used for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. A possible unwanted effect of glucocorticoid treatment is suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which can lead to adrenal insufficiency.

Glucocorticoids

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2011
Glucocorticoids remain part of the treatment strategy in many rheumatic diseases, because of their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. Unfortunately, their clinically desired effects are linked to adverse effects, especially at higher dosages and longer duration of treatment.

Are Glucocorticoids DMARDs?

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are drugs used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to control the disease and to limit joint damage and improve long‐term outcome. The last decade evidence has accumulated that suggests that low dosages of glucocorticoids are indeed able to control the disease and limit the destruction.

Glucocorticoids

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1989
Despite the continuing debate about the risks and benefits of glucocorticoid, their central role in the therapeutic armamentarium remains undisputed. Studies continue to unravel the complexity of their biologic effects on gene transcription, and careful clinical observation refines their therapeutic use.

Glucocorticoids in the cat

Veterinary Dermatology, 2008
AbstractGlucocorticoids are one of the two main classes of hormones, along with mineralocorticoids, which are secreted from the adrenal cortex. Since the discovery of the anti‐inflammatory properties of the natural glucocorticoid hydrocortisone, a large number of artificial glucocorticoids have been synthesized to attempt to increase efficacy and ...

The neuroendocrinology of stress and aging: the glucocorticoid cascade hypothesis.

Endocrine reviews, 1986
AS RECENTLY as 1900, tuberculosis, influenza, and pneumonia were the leading causes of death in our country (1). For the most part, however, these infectious diseases, as well as those of poor hygiene or undernutrition, no longer plague us.
