Biological Information
Background Information:
Glucocorticoid receptors are members of a superfamily of nuclear receptors that transduce the effects of a diverse array of small, hydrophobic ligands, including the steroid hormones, thyroid hormone, vitamin D and retinoids. Potencies for glucocorticoid receptor activation upon glucose metabolism closely parallel those for antiinflammatory effects.
