Abstract
Background and aims Glucocorticoids could impair vascular function directly, or indirectly by reducing insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to determine the direct and indirect effects of acute and chronic low dose prednisolone on arterial stiffness and endothelial function. Methods Twelve subjects with inflammatory arthritis, who had not taken oral glucocorticoids for ≥6 months, and 12 subjects with inflammatory arthritis, taking...
