Mechanisms of Glucocorticoid Action in Pulmonary Disease

Helen G. Morris M.D.

This article reviews the multiple mechanisms by which glucorticoids influence the pathophysiology of pulmonary disease. Particular emphasis is given to the influence of glucocorticoids on the release and action of mediators that promote inflammation and that modulate other pathophysiologic processes in the lung. The time course and mechanisms of action that contribute to glucocorticoid effects on pulmonary function are also discussed.
