KLF9 and Hyperglycemia: Klf9 is a GR target that is ubiquitously expressed, including in the brain (Bonett et al., 2009; Bagamasbad et al., 2012; Juszczak and Stankiewicz, 2018) wherein it directs a maladaptive response to chronic stress (Besnard et al., 2018), and in the liver where its overexpression contributes to hyperglycemia (Cui et al., 2019).
