Mineralocorticoid (MC)
- Na+ retaining
- Increased Na+ = increased H20 = increased volume
- Endogenous = aldosterone
- Synthetic = fludrocortisone
-
Glucocorticoid (GC)

Corticosteroid: Mechanism of action
Intracellular binding leads to DNA transcription--> effect lags behind dosage (takes a while to elicit a response)
-
GC decreases inflammation and immune response by:
- Inhibiting macrophage accumulation in inflamed areas
- Decreased capillary permeability and edema formation
- Antagonize histamine activity
- Decrease immunoglobulins and passage of immune complexes via basement memb
- Prevent release of destructive acid hydrolases from leukocytes
