Abstract
The influence of long term systemic glucocorticoid treatment and food restriction on the mechanical properties of muscle tendons and skin was investigated. A group of male, albino rabbits received prednisolone intramuscularly for 63 days. Another groThis publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
