In this chapter I review briefly several general properties of glucocorticoid receptor in lung tissue, and then discuss in more detail various

Most, if not all, of these effects are mediated through receptor, indicating that physiologic concentrations of glucocorticoid are sufficient to produce a response (Chap. 3). Glucocorticoids also regulate developmental processes in a variety of other tissues of f

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), or hyaline membrane disease (HMD), is a clinical syndrome occuring primarily in preterm infants and characterized by increasing respiratory distress which persists at least 48 h and improves spontaneously

The amount of transplacental passage of these corticosteroids and the kinetics of their appearance and disappearance in the fetal circulation are discussed. In a

It is likely that endogenous catecholamines also stimulate these processes and thus have an important role in establishing normal lung function at birth. In the first half of this chapter I review the data supporting this hypothesis. Sec

There is also relatively little information regarding possible physiologic roles. This chapter summarizes information on six hormones which have been investigated in recent years.
