Glucocorticoid receptor activation by long acting steroids and its modification by inflammation [PDF]

, 2007
s: Glucocorticoids have an effective anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and immunomodulatory activity. Therefore this class of drugs is used worldwide for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and to prevent rejection following organ transplantation.

GLCCI1 Deficiency Induces Glucocorticoid Resistance via the Competitive Binding of IRF1:GRIP1 and IRF3:GRIP1 in Asthma

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
GLCCI1 plays a significant role in modulating glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity in asthma. This project determines the underlying mechanism that GLCCI1 deficiency attenuates GC sensitivity in dexamethasone (Dex)-treated Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma mice ...

Mifepristone reduces insulin resistance in patient volunteers with adrenal incidentalomas that secrete low levels of cortisol : a pilot study [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Incidental adrenal masses are commonly detected during imaging for other pathologies. 10% of the elderly population has an ‘adrenal incidentaloma’, up to 20% of these show low-grade autonomous cortisol secretion and 60% of patients with ...

Nonclassic lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia masquerading as familial glucocorticoid deficiency [PDF]

, 2009
Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from resistance to the action of ACTH on the adrenal cortex.

Phenotypic characteristics of familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) type 1 and 2 [PDF]

, 2010
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 ...

Cooperativity of Glucocorticoid Response Elements Located Far Upstream of the Tyrosine Aminotransferase Gene [PDF]

, 1987
Two glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) located 2.5 kb upstream of the transcription initiation site of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene were identified by gene transfer experiments and shown to bind to purified glucocorticoid receptor.

The Glucocorticoid Receptor: A Revisited Target for Toxins

Toxins, 2010
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activation and glucocorticoid responses are critical for survival from a number of bacterial, viral and toxic insults, demonstrated by the fact that removal of the HPA axis or GR blockade enhances mortality ...
