Question 23

Glucocorticoid effect on immune function

Answer 23

• increase antiinflammatory cytokine production
• decreases proinflammatory cytokine production
• decreases inflammation by decreasing leukotrine and prostaglandin
• inhibits bradykinin and seratonin inflammatory effects
• decreases eosinophil, basophil, and lymphocyte counts
• impairs cell mediated immunity
• increases neutrophil, platelet and RBC counts

Question 24

Glucocorticoid effects on metabolism

Answer 24

• degrades muscle protein and increases nitrogen excretion
• increases gluconeogenesis and plasma glucose
• increases hepatic glycogen synthesis
• decreases glucose utilization
• decreases amino acid utilization
• Increases fat mobilization
• redistributes fat
• permissive effects on glucagon and catecholamine effects
