Although progress in understanding how steroids work has accelerated in the past few years, several important factors have eluded definitive analysis. Broadly, the mechanisms affect leukocyte traffic and function: Glucocorticoids inhibit the availability of leukocytes to the inflammatory site, interfere with their function at the site, and thus suppress the normal inflammatory response.
尽管在过去几年里，人们对类固醇作用机制的理解取得了快速进展，但仍有几个重要因素未能得到确切分析。总体而言，这些机制会影响白细胞的运输和功能：糖皮质激素会抑制白细胞到达炎症部位，干扰它们在炎症部位的功能，从而抑制正常的炎症反应。
