Description
Oana-Maria Mișcă and a large team of co-authors tested four add-on treatments meant to shield rabbit tendons from an antibiotic known to damage them, in this 2026 pilot study. Twenty-one rabbits took levofloxacin for a week, with one leg treated and the other as a spare comparison in most groups. Add-ons ranged from platelet-rich plasma to vitamin E with selenium.
Three months on, tissue scores were low and flat across all groups, controls included. Ultrasound thickening in one vitamin group could not be tied to the treatment with confidence. The authors are frank: the model caused only mild damage, so the study cannot tell weak protection from a weak challenge. They frame the work as groundwork for a bigger trial.
