Evolution of glucocorticoid receptors with different glucocorticoid sensitivity [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2006 Glucocorticoids (GCs) are commonly used to treat a variety of immune diseases. However, the efficacy of treatment is greatly influenced by an individual variation in sensitivity to GCs, which is caused by differences in the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The variable receptor profile results from variations in the GR gene, or alternative splicing of the

Glucocorticoid receptor modulators
Annales d'Endocrinologie, 2018 The glucocorticoid hormone cortisol acts throughout the body to support circadian processes and adaptation to stress. The glucocorticoid receptor is the target of cortisol and of synthetic glucocorticoids, which are used widely in the clinic. Both agonism and antagonism of the glucocorticoid receptor may be beneficial in disease, but given the wide ...

Crystal structure of the mineralocorticoid receptor DNA binding domain in complex with DNA.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The steroid hormone receptors regulate important physiological functions such as reproduction, metabolism, immunity, and electrolyte balance. Mutations within steroid receptors result in endocrine disorders and can often drive cancer formation and ...

Steroids, Pregnancy and Fetal Development
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Maternal glucocorticoids critically rise during pregnancy reaching up to a 20-fold increase of mid-pregnancy concentrations. Concurrently, another steroid hormone, progesterone, increases.
