Objectives: To test the effect of MTX on the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) α and β isoforms AB, C and D in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in culture, from newly diagnosed RA patients and to evaluate ...

Glucocorticoids are involved in several responses triggered by a variety of environmental and physiological stimuli. These hormones have a wide-range of regulatory effects in organisms. Synthetic glucocorticoids are ...

Several studies indicate that wild free‐living vertebrates seasonally regulate plasma glucocorticoids. However, not only glucocorticoids but also the amount of receptors is important in determining biological responses. ...

Background: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of LPS in glucocorticoid receptor (GR) isoforms expression on different cell lines and PBMC from healthy donors in vitro and glucocorticoid sensitivity of PBMC in ...
