Kidney disease impairs tendon function in rats
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 3, Page 1113-1136, 1 February 2026.Abstract figure legend This study demonstrates for the first time that tendon strength is reduced in a rodent model of chronic kidney disease (8 weeks of 0.25% adenine feeding) and confirms concurrent dysfunction in muscle and bone. These findings provide novel characterization of multiple tissues, paving the way for future investigations into the ...
