The therapeutic effects of betamethasone phosphate (BP) encapsulated in biocompatible and biodegradable blended nanoparticles of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) homopolymers and PEG-block-PLA copolymers (stealth nanosteroids) were examined in an experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) model in Lewis rats. EAU was induced by

Glucocorticoids exert their actions via the glucocorticoid receptor through at least 2 intracellular mechanisms, known as transrepression and transactivation. It has been hypothesized that transrepression is the basis of their anti-inflammatory effects, whereas transactivation has been assumed to cause their

We hypothesized that maternal treatments with betamethasone acetate induce fetal lung maturation comparably to the betamethasone phosphate+betamethasone acetate used clinically. Ewes with singleton pregnancies were treated with single doses of 0.25-mg/kg or 0.5-mg/kg betamethasone acetate, 4 doses of 0.25-mg/kg betamethasone
