18 Glucocorticoids and FoxO3 exert similar metabolic effects in skeletal muscle. FoxO3 19 gene expression was increased by dexamethasone (Dex), a synthetic glucocorticoid, both in vitro 20 and in vivo. In C2C12 myotubes the increased expression is due to, at least in part, the elevated 21 rate of FoxO3 gene transcription. In the mouse FoxO3 gene, we identified three glucocorticoid 22 receptor (...
