“The mechanism is not obvious, but it was suggested that MP may have a direct effect on the integrity of cardiac or smooth muscles, causing alterations in calcium and potassium flux across cell membranes.”

“ MP inhibited cellular oxygen consumption, suppressed the inhibitory effect of lanthanum but not that of cycloheximide on oxygen consumption, blocked the [Ca2+]i rise in response to calcium ionophore A 23187, and decreased phospholipid turnover.”
“Both lumen-to-mucosa and mucosa-to-lumen fluxes of calcium were lower in the treated than in the control suckling rats, indicating that the permeability of the mucosal membrane to calcium was decreased with injection of methylprednisolone.”
“Intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone (2.5 mg/100 g body weight daily for 5 days) suppressed absorption of calcium from the jejunum + ileum of the suckling rats only.”
