Dexamethasone has been used as a DMEM medium supplement utilized in osteogenesis. It has also been used as an alpha-MEM medium supplement to initiate adipogenic differentiation. Additionally, it has also been used to study apoptosis, cell signaling pathways and gene expression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory agent. Regulates T cell survival, growth, and differentiation. Inhibits the induction of nitric oxide synthase.

Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory agent. It regulates T cell survival, growth, and differentiation. Additionally, dexamethasone inhibits the induction of nitric oxide synthase. It induces apoptosis by initiating the initial cleavage of DNA into high molecular weight fragments.
