However, the mechanism underlying the development of hippocampal neuroinflammation under the above condition remains elusive. The aims of this study were to explore the pathogenesis of diabetes combined with depression, and the effect of dexamethasone (Dex), a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist, on hippocampal neuroinflammation in diabetic rats with chronic unpredictable mil...
