Abstract excerpt
The guinea pig has been employed as a model to study the structure/function relationships of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and to determine the regions of the receptor important for binding hormone and antihormone. Guinea pigs have high levels of circulating cortisol and GR with a approximately 20-fold lower affinity for dexamethasone than mouse GR. Cloning and sequencing of guinea pig GR has identified 24...
