In pharmacology, the fibrates are a class of amphipathic carboxylic acids. They are used for a range of metabolic disorders, mainly hypercholesterolemia, and are therefore hypolipidemic agents.
They're made of tough, nonelastic tissue -- called fibrous connective tissue -- that transfers the force produced when a muscle contracts. Tendons are found in most parts of your body, including your arms, legs, hands and feet, and even your head and torso.
A tendon is a tough cord made of closely packed white fibers of connective tissue that serves to attach muscles to internal structures such as bones or other muscles.Sometimes, when the muscle involved in the specific action is thin and wide, the tendon is not a cord but a thin sheet known as an aponeurosis.
