About
The main purpose of the trial is to advance our knowledge on the possible mechanism underlying the catabolic effects of long-term treatment with glucocorticoid.
Full description
Long-term treatment with glucocorticoid induces a general state of catabolism and increases insulin resistance. The underlying mechanisms are insufficiently characterized, however glucocorticoid induced changes of Growth Hormone (GH) and the Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) appear to be of outmost importance.
We wish to investigate the mechanism behind glucocorticoid induced catabolism and insulin resistance.
