Effects of dexamethasone on human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Context: Glucocorticoids are frequently prescribed drugs with important side-effects such as glucose intolerance and tissue remodelling. Objective: The goal was to explore the molecular basis of the crosstalk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle during short term glucocorticoid treatment. Design and Intervention: Healthy male subjects were assigned to a 4-d treatment with dexamethasone at 4mg/d. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome measures were gene expression profiling of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Urinary cortisol and metabolic biochemistry were also assessed.
