Despite their therapeutic effectiveness, glucocorticoidsÂ’ (GC) clinical usage is frequently limited due to the deleterious metabolic effects. GC-induced obesity arises from excessive fat accumulation in white adipose tissue (WAT) as well as suppressed thermogenic capacity in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Since the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) plays a fundamental role in adipose tissue biology, we examined the interaction between GCs and SNS signaling in the adipose orga...
