Hepatic blockade of glucocorticoid receptors (GR) suppresses glucose production and thus decreases circulating glucose levels, but systemic glucocorticoid antagonism can produce adrenal insufficiency and other undesirable side effects. These hepatic and systemic responses might be dissected, leading to liver-selective pharmacology, when a GR antagonist is linked to a bile acid in an appropriate manner
