Alendronate or alfacalcidol in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Treatment with glucocorticoids is associated with bone loss starting soon after therapy is initiated and an increased risk of fracture. METHODS: We performed a randomized, double-placebo, double-blind clinical trial of 18 months' duration ...

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Burden of Glucocorticoid Use and Risk of Toxicities Among Patients with Immunoglobulin-G4-Related Disease: A Retrospective US-Based Claims Study

Rheumatology and Therapy
Introduction Glucocorticoids are commonly used to treat immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), but there is limited real-world evidence describing glucocorticoid-related toxicities in this population.

Increased Chondroprotective Effect of Combining Hyaluronic Acid with a Glucocorticoid Compared to Separate Administration on Cytokine-Treated Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes in a 2D Culture

Biomedicines, 2022
Intra-articular injections of glucocorticoids (GC) or hyaluronic acid (HA) are commonly used interventions for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Repression of glucocorticoid-stimulated angiopoietin-like 4 gene transcription by insulin. [PDF]

, 2014
Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) primary target gene in hepatocytes and adipocytes. It encodes a secreted protein that inhibits extracellular LPL and promotes adipocyte lipolysis.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Cell-Specific Immune Regulation by Glucocorticoids in Murine Models of Infection and Inflammation

Cells, 2022
Glucocorticoids (GC) are highly potent negative regulators of immune and inflammatory responses. Effects of GC are primarily mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) which is expressed by all cell types of the immune system.

Extra-adrenal regeneration of glucocorticoids by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1:physiological regulator and pharmacological target for energy partitioning [PDF]

, 2007
The major glucocorticoid in man, cortisol, plays important roles in regulating fuel metabolism, energy partitioning and body fat distribution.

GLUCOCORTICOID THERAPY

Medicine, 1976
1. There is a poor relationship between the circulating half-life a glucocorticoid and either its potency or its duration of action. Many actions of a glucocorticoid have unequal durations. The duration of action varies with the dose. 2. The presence of biological activity as a glucocorticoid depends on the presence of a hydroxyl group at carbon number

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our
