Rats were treated with dexamethasone (50 micrograms/day, sc) for 4 days. Total pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and insulin-stimulated PDHa activities were decreased in fat pads from dexamethasone-treated rats compared to control values. Coincubation experiments with adipocyte mitochondria, plasma membrane, and insulin demonstrated decreased stimulation of PDH in preparations from dexamethasone-treated rats. The responsiveness of the mitochondrial PDH system to insulin and control rat plasma membranes was not different in glucocorticoid-treated adipocyte preparations compared to controls. Liver mitochondria from dexamethasone-treated rats demonstrated decreased basal enzyme activity and a decreased percentage of stimulation of PDH when supernatants from insulin-exposed liver particulate fractions were tested. These experiments suggest that insulin resistance produced by glucocorticoid treatment, like that resulting from fat feeding, is accompanied by a decrease in the capacity of adipocyte and liver plasma membranes to generate PDH activator in response to insulin.

Background: Muscle tissue is essential for overall well-being that declines with age and different illnesses. Glucocorticoids, despite being efficient in treating inflammation, can induce muscle weakness (known as glucocorticoid-induced myopathy) by affecting protein breakdown and synthesis. Glucocorticoids have a negative impact on satellite cells, which play a role in muscle regeneration.

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the common reason for secondary osteoporosis. Dendrobine (DEN) is the major biologically active component of with anti-inflammatory and antiaging properties. Whether DEN could alleviate osteogenic inhibition in GIOP rats is still unknown.

Glucocorticoids may be given prior to major orthopedic surgery to decrease postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pain. Additionally, many orthopedic patients may be on chronic glucocorticoid therapy. The aim of our study was to investigate whether glucocorticoid administration influences Orthopedic-Device-Related Infection (ODRI) in a rat model.

Background: Glucocorticoids are commonly used in children with different chronic diseases. Growth failure represents a so far untreatable undesired side-effect. As lithium chloride (LiCl) is known to induce cell renewal in various tissues, we hypothesized that LiCl may prevent glucocorticoid-induced growth failure.

Background: Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a prevalent and incapacitating condition that affects the hip joint. Unfortunately, early diagnostic and treatment measures are limited.
Methods: Our study employed Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) labeling mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteome to compare the proteins of femoral head tissues in patients with SONFH with those of patients who sustained femoral neck fracture (FNF).
