Dexamethasone (DEX) increases alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in equine bone marrow stem cells. Cells were cultured in the absence (Control) or presence of DEX and bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2; 60 ng/mL) and differentiation was determined by ALP enzyme activity. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *indicates a significant difference compared with control (P < 0.0001).
