# Term Definition From Set
1 Glucocorticoids One of the major groups of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex. It enables the body to resist long-term stressors, primarily by incresing blood glucose levels. Anatomy Lab I- Endocrine Glands
2 Glucocorticoids Inflammation, Others Pharmacology Test 2 multiple choice
3 glucocorticoids steroid hormone ch. 9 anatomical terms
4 Glucocorticoids One of the major groups of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex. It enables the body to resist long-term stressors, primarily by incresing blood glucose levels. endocrine system
5 glucocorticoids raises blood sugar levels AP Bio Terms
6 Glucocorticoids Hormones produced by the adrenal cortex designed to help the body fight stress Homeostasis/Endocrine
7 glucocorticoids target organ: liver, cause liver to make glucose from fats and proteins and to release new glucose into blood, also targets other cells to use fats for fuel instead of glucose, also strong anti-inflammatory agents, EX: cortisol Nehah's Biology Vocab
8 Glucocorticoids zona fasciculata of cortex of adrenal gland 211 Lab Test 1
9 Glucocorticoids inhibit phospholipase A2- inhibits arachidonic acid and production of leukotrienes, cytokines and prostaglandins (also interfere with transcription factors required to activate T cell genes) Immunomodulators
10 Glucocorticoids one of the two main corticosteroids from adrenal cortex; increases energy supplies during stress by promoting synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrates (ex: cortisone) AP Bio Ch. 45 Vocab
11 glucocorticoids glucose metabolism hormones that increase the availability of glucose - stimulate gluconeogenesis, promote storage of glycogen; high doses can cause increased glucose in plasma which mimics diabetes; cause protein catabolism which at high doses manifests as thinning of skin and wasting of muscles; causes metabolism of fat, which manifests at high levels as fat redistribution, buffalo hump etc (cortisol) 351 test 2
12 glucocorticoids influence the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; affect skeletal muscle, the cardiovascular system, and the CNS; at times of stress are essential for survival 351 test 2
13 glucocorticoids an adjuvant therapy which is used to decrease edema and inflammation, and create a sense of well being and appetitie. ex. prednisone and dexamethasone. adtn 345 exam 3
14 Glucocorticoids cortisol (natural), prednisone, cortisone, dexamethasone (synthetic). Increase blood sugar levels. Decrease inflammation. Helpful in times of stress to maintain homeostasis. Anatomy & Physiology: Endocrine System
15 glucocorticoids maintains glucose levels Ch.19.1-Endocrine System
16 Glucocorticoids Cortisone, coritisol; raises blood sugar; resists stress Anatomy and Physiology Ch. 18 - Part 4
17 Glucocorticoids Cortisol "steroids", promotes gluconeogenesis, inhibits immune system Veterinary Science : Clin. Path.(Final Exam Review)
18 Glucocorticoids Cushing's syndrome- moon face, depression of the immune system Chapter 9- Conditions Caused by Endocrine Organ Hypoactivity or Hyperactivity
19 Glucocorticoids Increase blood glucose Endocrine System

23 glucocorticoids raises blood sugar evels Ch 15 Endocrine Hormones
24 Glucocorticoids decreases the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandins by inhibiting phospholipase A2 and inhibiting the expression of COX-2; used to treat Addison's disease, inflammation, asthma, and induce immune suppression; can result in iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome [Hydrocortisone, Prednisone, Triamcinolone, Dexamethasone, Beclomethasone] USMLE Pharm
25 Glucocorticoids Raises blood sugar levels, Adrenal cortex Endocrine Hormones
26 glucocorticoids a class of steroid hormones, released by the adrenal cortex, that affect carbohydrate metabolism and inflammation Physio Ch. 5
