Glucocorticoid sensitivity at pre- and post-treatment depending on the GR BCLI polymorphism genotype (CG/GC or CC). Glucocorticoid sensitivity was measured with the lysozyme inhibition test in cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated by varying doses of DEX. Pre-treatment measures are represented by blue (dark grey) bars and post-treatments measures by red (light grey) bars. Data were adjusted for age, gender and body mass index and are represented as mean ± s.e.m. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. (Online version in colour.)
