Mild hypercholesterolemia impacts achilles sub-tendon mechanical properties in young rats

Abstract Background Hypercholesterolemia is associated with tendon pathology, but the reasons underpinning this relationship are not well understood. Cholesterol can accumulate in the tendon non-collagenous matrix which may affect both global and local tissue mechanics. Changes to the local strain e...
