"[To test the hypothesis that changes in the expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GCR) and the beta(2)-adrenoceptor (beta(2)-AR) contribute significantly to the abnormal glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle from patients with Type II diabetes, we have examined (1) the levels of total GCR (alpha+beta isoforms), the alpha/alpha 2 isoform of GCR and beta(2)-AR mRNAs in skeletal muscle from insulin-resistant patients with Type II diabetes (n=10) and healthy controls (n=15), and (2) the effects of 8 weeks of intensive treatment on the whole-body glucose disposal rate and on total GCR, alpha/alpha 2 GCR and beta(2)-AR mRNA levels in diabetic patients.].
