Variatie in het Glucocorticoid Receptor Gen: gevolgen voor lichaam en brein
Glucocorticoids are hormones, of which the production is increased in response to physical or psychological stress. In basal conditions these hormones are also present in the circulation, but in lower levels. The major glucocorticoid in man is cortisol. The effects of glucocorticoids are mainly mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor, which is present in virtually all tissues throughout the body. This thesis is focused on the gene coding for the glucocorticoid receptor.
