| 1. | One possible explanation involves a class of steroid hormones called glucocorticoids.
|
| 2. | Glucocorticoids can damage neurons in the hippocampi of rodents and primates.
|
| 3. | Therapies include immunosuppressive drugs and, in some cases, glucocorticoids.
|
| 4. | Cortisol ( or hydrocortisone ) is the most important human glucocorticoid.
|
| 5. | This results in a molecule with no glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid activity.
|
| 6. | Permissive actions of glucocorticoids like cortisol generally occur at low concentrations.
|
| 7. | The glucocorticoid gene is activated, resulting in lowered stress response.
|
| 8. | 9 . Being treated with glucocorticoids or other drugs affecting bone metabolism.
|
| 9. | GCs affect cells by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor ( GR ).
|
| 10. | An enzyme exists in mineralocorticoid target tissues to prevent overstimulation by glucocorticoids.
