Leukotriene antagonists as first-line or add-on asthma controller therapy [PDF]

, 2011
Most randomized trials of treatment for asthma study highly selected patients under idealized conditions. METHODS: We conducted two parallel, multicenter, pragmatic trials to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of a leukotriene-receptor antagonist ...

Diagnosis and approach to glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency and glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction and purpose: Primary adrenal insufficiency can result from diseases affecting the adrenal glands, while secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused by suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Oral glucocorticoid-sparing effect of mepolizumab in eosinophilic asthma.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
BACKGROUND Many patients with severe asthma require regular treatment with oral glucocorticoids despite the use of high-dose inhaled therapy. However, the regular use of systemic glucocorticoids can result in serious and often irreversible adverse ...

Glucocorticoids for human skin: New aspects of the mechanism of action [PDF]

, 2005
Topical glucocorticoids have always been considered first-line drugs for inflammatory diseases of the skin and bronchial system. Applied systemically, glucocorticoids are used for severe inflammatory and immunological diseases and the inhibition of ...

A novel human glucocorticoid receptor SNP results in increased transactivation potential. [PDF]

, 2017
Glucocorticoids are one of the most widely used therapeutics in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory disorders. However, it is known that there are variable patient responses to glucocorticoid treatment; there are responders and non-responders, or ...

Efficacy of Whole-Blood Exchange Transfusion in Refractory Severe Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia Secondary to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Real-World Observational Retrospective Study

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundSevere autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients could be life-threatening and formidable, especially in those nonresponsive to glucocorticoids (GCs) and immunosuppressants (ISAs).

Role of glucocorticoid negative feedback in the regulation of HPA axis pulsatility

Stress, 2018
The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is the major neuroendocrine axis regulating homeostasis in mammals. Glucocorticoid hormones are rapidly synthesized and secreted from the adrenal gland in response to stress.

Chronopharmacology of glucocorticoids

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2019
Glucocorticoids influence a wide array of metabolic, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and cognitive signaling processes, playing an important role in homeostasis and preservation of normal organ function. Synthesis is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis of which cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid in humans.

Comparing self‐reported race and genetic ancestry for identifying potential differentially methylated sites in endometrial cancer: insights from African ancestry proportions using machine learning models

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Integrating ancestry, differential methylation analysis, and machine learning, we identified robust epigenetic signature genes (ESGs) and Core‐ESGs in Black and White women with endometrial cancer. Core‐ESGs (namely APOBEC1 and PLEKHG5) methylation levels were significantly associated with survival, with tumors from high African ancestry (THA) showing ...
