| It has a slight but definite glucocorticoid activity and a very slight mineralocorticoid action. |
| The causes of osteoporosis in men include hypogonadism, glucocorticoid excess, medications and lifestyle factors. |
| Withdrawal of glucocorticoids may result in symptoms of the glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome including: fever, myalgia, arthralgia and malaise. |
| Receptors for corticotropin and the glucocorticoid hormones have been cloned and mechanisms of action elucidated. |
