Abstract
At equivalent anti-inflammatory doses of corticosteroids, granuloma growth is not linearly related to the inhibition of granuloma collagen synthesis. However, the inhibition of granuloma collagen synthesis is linearly related to the inhibition of skin collagen synthesis. Therefore the decrease of collagen synthesis by corticosteroids is not related to anti-inflammatory activity but is related to the specific corticosteroid used.
