  • Title: The influence of fluocortolone treatment on the collagen content in guinea pig skin.
    Author: Wepler R, Burkhardt H, Rommel K.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol Res (1975); 1977 Jan 31; 257(3):287-92. PubMed ID: 836077.
    Abstract:
    Specific pathogen free guinea pigs were treated with varying dosis of fluocortolone for 15 days. The treated animals showed the same per cent weight gain as the controls. The total hydroxyproline content of the skin and the hydroxyproline content in different collagen fractions was the same in treated and untreated animals. Thus fluocortolone seems to have no specific effect on the synthesis or the breakdown of collagen in the guinea pig skin. Also the physical development of the animals, kept under defined conditions, failed to show a catabolic effect of of fluorcortolone.
