Exploring the Suitability of a Specifici Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonist as a Tool in the Study of the Regulation of Rat Lung Alveolarization by Glucocorticoids

Background: Intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) mediate the regulation of lung development, including alveolarization, by glucocorticoids (GCs). One potential approach to determining the role of GC-GR signalling in alveolar formation would be by pharmacologic blockade. Hypothesis: CP472555...
