Glucocorticoids, function

Hasinski S. Assessment of adrenal glucocorticoid function. Which tests are appropriate for screening Postgrad Med 1988 104 61- 4. [Pg.702]

Cortisol, the major glucocorticoid, functions to increase the glucose and glycogen concentrations in the body. This is accomplished by the conversion of lactate and amino acids from body proteins into glucose and glycogen. The reactions take place in the liver under the influence of cortisol. [Pg.281]

Steroid Hormones and Neurosteroids. Steroids (qv) can affect neuroendocrine function, stress responses, and behavioral sexual dimorphism (78,79) (see Steroids). Mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid, androgen, estrogen, and progesterone receptors are localized in the brain and spinal cord. In addition to genomic actions, the neurosteroid can act more acutely to modulate the actions of other receptors or ion channels (80). Pregnenolone [145-13-17, ( ) dehydroepiandosterone [53-43-0] C H2 02 (319) are excitatory neurosteroids found in rat brain, independent of adrenal... [Pg.574]
