Glucocorticoid receptors: finding the middle ground.
Glucocorticoids (GCs; referred to clinically as corticosteroids) are steroid hormones with potent anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory profiles. Depending on the context, these hormones can also mediate pro-inflammatory activities, thereby serving as primers of the immune system. Their target receptor, the GC receptor (GR), is a multi-tasking transcription factor, changing its role and funct...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid receptors : finding the middle ground
Introduction Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones that are derived from cholesterol and secreted by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal glands. GC production occurs in a circadianand stress-associated manner and is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (1–3). Various physiologic processes, including glucose metabolism and metabolic functions in fat, muscle, and bone, ...
متن کاملFinding middle ground: environmental conflict resolution.
Background: Saliva of blood-sucking arthropods contains a cocktail of antihemostatic agents and immunomodulators that help blood feeding. Mosquitoes additionally feed on sugar meals and have specialized regions of their glands containing glycosidases and antimicrobials that might help control bacterial growth in the ingested meals. To expand our knowledge on the salivary cocktail of Ædes ægypti...
متن کاملWilderness and biodiversity conservation.
Human pressure threatens many species and ecosystems, so conservation efforts necessarily prioritize saving them. However, conservation should clearly be proactive wherever possible. In this article, we assess the biodiversity conservation value, and specifically the irreplaceability in terms of species endemism, of those of the planet's ecosystems that remain intact. We find that 24 wilderness...
متن کاملConservation Biology: Beyond Marine Protected Areas
Socioeconomic and ecological analyses of eleven coral reef conservation efforts make clear that marine protected areas are not the answer, and that in fact support of local communities is far more important than some government mandated 'fishing closure'. Apparently there are marine 'paper parks' just as there are terrestrial 'paper parks'.
