Circadian Rhythm of Glucocorticoid Administration Entrains Clock Genes in Immune Cells: A DREAM Trial Ancillary Study
25 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Context: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) requires lifelong glucocorticoid (GC) replacement. Conventional therapies do not mimic the endogenous cortisol circadian rhythm. Clock genes are essential components of the machinery controlling circadian functions and are influenced by GCs. However, clock gene expression has never been investigated in patients with AI. Objective: To evaluate the effect of the timing of GC...
