Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone is a potent synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, acting as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. It is widely used in research to model conditions like depression and muscle atrophy in vivo, and to study cytokine modulation and autophagy in cellular experiments. Its mechanisms include inhibiting inflammatory exosome release and suppressing LPS-induced macrophage activation.
