TLDR
Binding of glucocorticoids and related steroids to rat thymus cells in vitro has been measured by equilibrium and kinetic methods, adding to the evidence that the hormonally active form of cortisol is cortisol itself.

Steroid receptor interactions with heat shock protein and immunophilin chaperones.

TL;DR: A historical perspective on a body of steroid receptor research dealing with the structure and physiological significance of the untransformed 9S receptor is provided, and it is shown that hsp90 itself exists in a variety of native multiprotein heterocomplexes independent of steroid receptors and other 'substrate' proteins.

Molecular Determinants of Glucocorticoid Receptor Function and Tissue Sensitivity to Glucocorticoids

TL;DR: This review has summarized the multiple endogenous and exogenous factors that have been shown to be involved in this signaling cascade and, thus, to alter glucocorticoid sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipocortin and the mechanism of action of the glucocorticoids

TL;DR: The field of glucocorticoid pharmacology has 'fallen into such neglect' and seems to be connected with early ideas about the function of these hormones, and to a certain extent, with misconceptions about the nature of the inflammatory response itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue effects of glucocorticoids.

TL;DR: As with cyclic AMP and other types of steroids, glucocorticoids may play a more important role in fetal cellular and tissue differentiation than previously appreciated.

Metabolic Site and Time Course of Cortisol Action on Glucose Uptake, Lactic Acid Output, and Glucose 6-Phosphate Levels of Rat Thymus Cells in Vitro

TL;DR: These results are interpreted as showing that cortisol produces a block at the level of glucose transport or phosphorylation, or both, in rat thymus cells exposed under aerobic conditions to a glucose pulse.
