Cortisol in concentrations within the therapeutic range inhibits calcium response of fibroblast to angiotensin II. In physiological concentrations, cortisol potentiates the effects of angiotensin II via modulation of membrane mineralocorticoid receptors. The inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids on cell proliferation and collagen synthesis are manifestations of its genomic effects mediated by intracellular receptors. The use of glucocorticoid preparation based on nanosized polymer structure made it possible to distinguish between the genomic and nongenomic mechanisms of regulation of activity of target-cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
