2017, Cytokine and Growth Factor ReviewsCitation Excerpt :11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) regulates the glucocorticoid activity in cells by converting part of the bioactive cortisol back into the inactive precursor cortisone [22]. Once entered into cells, GCc have plenty of physiological functions, such as regulating metabolic homeostasis, inflammation, immune responses, development and reproduction [23–25]. GCs function by binding to their intracellular receptor, the GC receptor (GR), which is encoded by the NR3C1 gene in humans and Nrc3c1 in mice (see Fig. 1).
Glucocorticoid metabolism in equine follicles and oocytes
2017, Domestic Animal EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Increased glucocorticoid release and synthesis in response to acute or chronic stress impairs reproductive function in a variety of species [1,2]. However, glucocorticoids are also involved in tissue differentiation and maturation [3]. A well-regulated balance between beneficial and detrimental effects of glucocorticoid hormones might therefore be of utmost importance for reproductive tissue development as well as maintenance of its function.
Activation of the Glucocorticoid Receptor in Acute Inflammation: The SEDIGRAM Concept
2016, Trends in Pharmacological SciencesCitation Excerpt :Meddling with an essential physiological function such as glucose homeostasis was predicted to be incompatible with life, in line with the finding that a hepatocyte GR-knockout mouse model was fatal within 2 days after birth in 50% of cases [20]. Full-body GR-knockout mice are almost fully perinatally lethal due to respiratory failure [21,22]. By contrast, transgenic GRdim mice with a single point mutation that compromises GR DNA binding and GRE-driven gene expression, but leaves GR regulation via GR–protein interactions intact, are viable.
