Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Cystatin C (CyC) is a secreted cysteine protease inhibitor and its biological functions remain insufficiently characterized. Plasma CyC is elevated in many patients, especially when receiving glucocorticoid (GC) treatment. Endogenous GCs are essential for life and are appropriately upregulated in response to systemic stress. Here we empirically connect GCs with systemic regulation of CyC. We used...
