An evaluation of the local effects of triamcinolone acetonide on normal soft tissues in monkey digits.
The lack of quantitative information on the observed effects after subcutaneous injections of triamcinolone prompted a double blind, prospective study of the drug's effects. The results demonstrate that there are gross losses in the subcutaneous fat. No significant quantitative differences were observed in the collagen content (microscopic or biochemical) in these monkey digits.
