Mixed-model QSAR at the glucocorticoid and liver X receptors [PDF]
The presence of hormonally active compounds in the biosphere has become a worldwide environmental concern, and measures such as policy acts and regulations try to address the problem, both in Europe and in the United States.

Glucocorticoid guides mobilization of bone marrow stem/progenitor cells via FPR and CXCR4 coupling
Background Our previous studies have proved the efficient exogenous repairing responses via bone marrow stem and progenitor cells (BMSPCs). However, the trafficking of endogenous bone marrow stem and progenitor cells to and from the bone marrow (BM) is a

Glucocorticoid exposure in late gestation permanently programs rat hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucocorticoid receptor expression and causes glucose intolerance in adult offspring [PDF]
Low birth weight in humans is predictive of insulin resistance and diabetes in adult life. The molecular mechanisms underlying this link are unknown but fetal exposure to excess glucocorticoids has been implicated, The fetus is normally protected from ...

Phenotypic characteristics of familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) type 1 and 2 [PDF]
Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder as a result of mutation in genes encoding either the ACTH receptor [melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R)] or its accessory protein [melanocortin 2 receptor accessory ...

An investigation into the role of acetylation and ligand-dependent nuclear localisation in glucocorticoid receptor transcriptional regulation [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 134-151).The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor which, due to its central role in anti-inflammatory responses, is a target of many therapeutically prescribed drugs.

Selective non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor agonists attenuate inflammation but do not impair intestinal epithelial cell restitution in vitro [PDF]
Introduction: Despite the excellent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive action of glucocorticoids (GCs), their use for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) still carries significant risks in terms of frequently occurring severe side ...
