DOI: 10.1210/js.2019-00158
Abstract: Abstract Adrenal glucocorticoid hormones are crucial for maintenance of homeostasis and adaptation to stress. They act via the mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) and glucocorticoid receptors (GRs)—members of the family of nuclear receptors. MRs and GRs can… read more here.

Abstract: Objective Pituitary neuroendocrine corticotroph tumors commonly cause Cushing’s disease (CD) that results from increased adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by the pituitary tumor and consequent increase of cortisol levels in blood. However, in some patients, corticotroph… read more here.
