Significance of glucocorticoid receptor expression in colonic mucosal cells of patients with ulcerative colitis

Table 3 GRα and GRβ expression in ulcerative colitis with different severity.

	Expression level of GRαa					Expression level of GRβa
	-	+	++	+++	Total (n)	-	+	++	+++	Total (n)
Mild	0	1	2	5	8	0	1	3	4	8
Moderate	0	1	7	3	11	0	2	2	7	11
Severe	0	1	3	2	6	0	1	1	4	6

There is a significant association between GRα/GRβ expression and the degree of inflammation of ulcerative colitis (^aP<0.05).
