14 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are immunosuppressive drugs used for the acute treatment of patients with moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),1 but interindividual variability in the response to these agents is frequently observed.2 GCs diffuse freely into cells and bind to an intracellular receptor (hGR/NR3C1), so the sensitivity to these drugs may depend on the receptor number and affinity or on their...
