Effects of parathyroid extract on the rupture strength of intact skin of the rat.
Rats were injected with parathyroid extract (PTE) to search for possible effects on connective tissue of the skin. Rupture strength analysis of skin samples showed a significant increase in strength of skin from PTE-treated rats. The explanation for this effect is not understood at present.
