* Osteoporotic effects. These occur sicne steroids decrease absroption and increase excreting of calcium. They also increase parathyroid hormone activity, leading to decreases in osteoblastic activity and increases in activity of osteoclasts. Degeneration of epiphyseal cartilage can also occur in young animals.
