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

The glucocorticoid receptor as a regulator of cortisol responses in cortisol resistant patients and healthy subjects [PDF]
Glucocorticoids are essential for life, and are involved in growth, reproduction, intermediary metabolism, immune and inflammatory reactions as well as central nervous system and cardiovascular functions.

A trilogy of glucocorticoid receptor actions [PDF]
Glucocorticoids (GCs) belong to a class of endogenous, stress-stimulated steroid hormones found in vertebrates (e.g., cortisol in humans and corticosterone in rodents); they have wide ranging physiologic effects capable of impacting metabolism, immunity, development, stress, cognition, and arousal.

Insight into glucocorticoid receptor signalling through interactome model analysis. [PDF]
Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are used to treat a variety of diseases because of their potent anti-inflammatory effect and their ability to induce apoptosis in lymphoid malignancies through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Despite ongoing research, high

11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 regulates glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Glucocorticoid excess is characterized by increased adiposity, skeletal myopathy, and insulin resistance, but the precise molecular mechanisms are unknown.

Selective glucocorticoid receptor properties of GSK866 analogs with cysteine reactive warheads [PDF]
Synthetic glucocorticoids (GC) are the mainstay therapy for treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. Due to the high adverse effects associated with long-term use, GC pharmacology has focused since the nineties on more selective GC ligand ...
