Androgens sensitise mice to glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance and fat accumulation
Abstract
Chronic glucocorticoid therapy causes insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, abnormal fat accumulation, loss of muscle mass and osteoporosis. Here we describe a hitherto unknown sexual dimorphism in the metabolic response to chronic glucocorticoid exposure in mice. This led us to investigate whether glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance and obesity were dependent on sex hormones.Male and female CD1 mice were treated for 4 weeks with...
