Corticosteroids

4. Hypothalamic hormone that regulates ACTH secretion
5. Protein induced by glucocorticoids that inhibits phospholipase A2
6. Long-acting glucocorticoid with strong anti-inflammatory activity
8. Intermediate-acting glucocorticoid converted to prednisolone in liver
9. Cytokine inhibited by glucocorticoids decreasing T-cell activation
10. Hepatic process strongly increased by glucocorticoids
12. Long-acting glucocorticoid used for cerebral edema and postoperative brain swelling
14. Cytokine suppressed by glucocorticoids reducing lymphocyte proliferation

1. Their expression is reduced by glucocorticoids decreasing leukocyte migration
2. Enzyme blocked by glucocorticoids reducing eicosanoid formation
3. Increased breakdown of proteins caused by glucocorticoids
5. Breakdown of fat promoted by glucocorticoids leading to more fatty acids
7. Condition caused by prolonged glucocorticoid therapy leading to adrenal atrophy
11. Enzyme whose transcription is inhibited leading to reduced prostaglandins
13. Pituitary hormone that stimulates adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids
