Glucocorticoids reduce inflammation in part by inhibiting eicosanoid production by macrophages.
- Phosholipase A2α is inhibited by the protein Annexin-1
- Annexin-1 synthesis by macrophages is stimulated by glucocorticoids such as cortisol.
- Annexin-1 also works by other mechansims, some of which are described later in the tutorial.
