“Compared to their pre-ozone status on the day of exposure, we found that dexamethasone-pretreated animals manifested significantly less of an increase in airway reactivity postozone to IV SP or inhaled CAP than did untreated animals.”
“Furthermore, DFU, NS-398, SC-560, and dexamethasone caused severe injury in the acid-challenged stomach of rats pretreated with capsaicin to ablate afferent neurons.”

“Mast cell products are important in the actions of capsaicin, because pretreatment with dexamethasone (4 mg/kg), to eliminate mast cells by a macrophage-dependent mechanism, abrogated the actions of capsaicin.”

“We found that dexamethasone reduced, in a dose-dependent fashion, the magnitude of plasma extravasation produced in the rat trachea by capsaicin and substance P. Significant inhibition was produced by a dose of dexamethasone as small as 0.5 mg/kg i.p.”
