Methylprednisolone is a syntheticthat mimics the natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It serves as a glucocorticoid and plays a vital role in regulating metabolism and immune system function. Moreover, methylprednisolone finds extensive application in scientific research. In vivo studies employ methylprednisolone in live animals to explore its impact on various biological processes, while in vitro studies involve its utilization in cell cultures to investigate its effects on cellular processes. By binding to the glucocorticoid receptor within the cell nucleus, methylprednisolone initiates a cascade of gene expression regulation.
