Androgenic Steroids Induce Pathologic Scarring in a Preclinical Swine Model Via Dysfunctional Extracellular Matrix Deposition
2023-06-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Hypertrophic scarring is a major source of morbidity for surgery patients. Sex hormones are not classically considered to be modulators of scarring. However, based on clinical observations of increased frequency of hypertrophic scarring in patients on testosterone, we hypothesized that androgenic steroids induce abnormal scarring and developed a preclinical swine model to explore these effects...
