The Effects of Excess Corticosterone on LKB1 and AMPK Signaling in Skeletal Muscle of Rats

Cushing's syndrome and glucocorticoid therapy lead to central obesity, insulin resistance, and symptoms of altered energy regulation similar to those observed in the metabolic syndrome. We hypothesized that excess glucocorticoids alter energy sensing/signaling in skeletal muscle through mediati...
