Schematic summarizing the function of GR in adipocytes. Adipocyte GR is not required for overnutrition-induced insulin resistance. However, adipocyte GR mediates dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance and brown adipocyte lipid accumulation and the expression of genes associated with “whitening”. Adipocyte GR also mediates fasting and cold-stimulated lipolysis.
