The zebrafish as an in vivo model system for glucocorticoid resistance.

Abstract excerpt

Glucocorticoids regulate a wide range of systems in vertebrate organisms, and their effects are mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The responsiveness to glucocorticoids differs largely between individuals. Resistance to glucocorticoids is an important medical problem, since it limits the efficacy of glucocorticoids when they are used to treat immune-related diseases like asthma and rheumatoid...
