ACTH and decubitus ulceration: an experimental study

A A Barton et al. Br J Pharmacol. 1969 Jun.

Abstract

1. Ulcers due to neurectomy with excision of the sciatic nerve are more severe than those due to tenotomy and can be inhibited by a single dose of ACTH.2. Timing and mode of administration of ACTH to prevent decubitus ulceration is critical and depends on its ability to prevent the separation of endothelial cells.
