a Plasma concentration profile for prednisolone, as observed after growth-promoting or therapeutic prednisolone administration. Results are expressed as mean plasma concentration levels ± SD (n = 12). The growth-promoting and therapeutic treatment are represented by black and white symbols, respectively. Hereby, a distinction is made between oral (circle) and intramuscular (triangle) prednisolone administration. b Plasma concentration profile for prednisolone, 20β-dihydroprednisolone, prednisone, and 20α-dihydroprednisolone as observed after intramuscular therapeutic administration. Results are expressed as mean plasma concentration levels ± SD (n = 12). Prednisolone is represented by black circles, 20β-dihydroprednisolone by white circles, prednisone by white triangles and 20 α-dihydroprednisolone by black triangles
