Dexamethasone up-regulates mRNA for Na+,K+-ATPase in some spinal cord neurones after cord transection

We have studied the effects of spinal cord transection and of dexamethasone (DEX) treatment on mRNA biosynthesis of the Na+,K+-ATPase, a key enzyme necessary for neurotransmission, membrane repolarization and nutrient uptake in the CNS. In situ hybridization analysis revealed a significant reduction...
