Corticosteroids (Allergy and Asthma)

A group of anti-inflammatory drugs similar to the natural corticosteroid hormones produced by the adrenal glands.

Corticosteroids (Biology)

The steroids secreted from the adrenal glands.

Corticosteroids (Bone Disorders)

Potent anti-inflammatory hormones that are made naturally in the body or synthetically for use as drugs; most commonly prescribed drug of this type is prednisone.

Corticosteroids (Clinical Trials)

Hormones that have antitumor activity in lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias; in addition, corticosteroids (steroids) may be used for hormone replacement and for the management of some of the complications of cancer and its treatment.

Corticosteroids (Endocrinology)

Hormones produced by the adrenal gland, consisting of hydrocortisone (or cortisol).

Corticosteroids (Health)

Group of anti-inflammatory drugs similar to natural hormones produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands

Corticosteroids (Huntingtons Disease)

Steroids released from the adrenal cortex. Corticosteroids include both mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. Mineralocorticoids maintain salt and fluid balance in the body, while glucocorticoids have metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects and are important mediators of the stress response.

Corticosteroids (Lymphoma)

Hormones that have antitumor activity in lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias; in addition, corticosteroids (steroids) may be used for hon-none replacement and for the management of some of the complications of cancer and its treatment.

Corticosteroids (Medical)

Synthetic drugs that are used to replace natural hormones or to suppress the immune system and help prevent inflammation

Corticosteroids (Multiple Sclerosis)

A number of hormonal steroid substances obtained from the cortex of the adrenal gland.

Corticosteroids (Naturopathic)

Natural steroid hormones or synthetic analogues, usually taken for suppressing inflammation (and immunity) and therefore having cortisone-like functions, or taken as analogues to adrenocortical androgen...or even testosterone, in order to impress the other gym members, make varsity by your junior year or to join the WWF and get newbie-mangled for two years by The Hangman or even the Hulkster Himself. Then, if your gonads don't fall off and your back holds up you get promoted to Good Guy, have your chance to Take A Name and finally wear your chosen costume...a spandex violet nurse's uniform.

Corticosteroids (Pulmonary Fibrosis)

Medications used to suppress the activity of the immune system and reduce inflammation. The most commonly prescribed corticosteroid is prednisone.
