cellular actions of this hormone are mediated primarily by the nuclear P 4 receptors (PR), including two well-studied isoforms, PRA and PRB ( Kastner et al. 1990 a ). Both isoforms function as hormone-activated transcription factors and are involved in

Introduction The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is arguably unique amongst the nuclear receptors in that it has two physiological ligands, aldosterone and cortisol (corticosterone in rodents). There is increasing evidence that the consequences of

Introduction The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. It is a key regulator of many homeostatic mechanisms and is also the target of therapeutic glucocorticoids used to treat inflammatory
