  1. n.s. Not significant between both groups, AR adrenoceptor, GR glucocorticoid receptor
  2. Value in parenthesis is the relative ratio of the dexamethasone group to the control group; upwards-pointing arrow, value is significantly higher in the dexamethasone group than in the control group; downwards-pointing arrow, value is significantly lower in the dexamethasone group than in the control group
