BR Walker, R Andrew - Ann NY Acad Sci, 2006 - interscience.wiley.com Abstract: Activation of intracellular glucocorticoid receptors is determined not only by the plasma
concentrations of cortisol, under the influence of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)
axis, but also by 11HSD enzymes within the target cell which interconvert cortisol with its ... Cited by 32 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
