Dermal thickness in BALB/C mice treated with bleomycin. Mice were injected with 1 mg BLM per ml (dose per day, n = 6) (U25CF;) or PBS alone (n = 5) (
). Dermal thickness gradually increased as the sclerosis developed, whereas PBS-treated mice did not exhibit an increase of dermal thickness. Significant differences were noted after 3 wk. * p < 0.05.
