it was observed grossly as well as histologically and radiographically that : ( 1 ) the anabolic steroid minimizes the rachitic changes in the bones of vitamin-d deficient rats , ( 2 ) in rachitic animals , a combination therapy of anabolic hormone and vitamin-d results in comparatively greater calcification of osteoid matrix and better healing and remodelling of bone than with vitamin-d alone .
