Test based on the vasoconstrictive effect of external glucocorticoids: Vasoconstriction occurring after 4-6 hours leads to a visually or photometrically detectable skin fading. Since the vasoconstrictive activity of glucocorticoids is parallel to the overall antiplogistic effect, this test is an important screening method for the strength of corticoids.
