Triamcinolone treatment in rabbits using 1 mg./Kg. doses produces a differential metabolic effect, with predominant involvement of glycolytic‐type fibers of muscle manifested by a significant atrophy of type II fibers. A consequent atrophy of muscle containing a large proportion of type II fibers also occurs. These changes take place before there is any significant alteration in size of type I fibers, and before there is any apparent loss of either glycolytic or oxidative enzyme activity.
