Abstract In vitro experiments demonstrate that various doses of dexamethasone not only inhibit production of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor but also markedly stimulate it in cells of the total pool of human peripheral blood mononuclears. Production of tumor necrosis factor in the presence of dexamethasone is stimulated in all donors, while production of interleukin-6 is strongly inhibited, usually in a dose-dependent manner.
