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.
Tendons are connective tissues that attach the ends of your muscles to bones. Tendons are not muscle tissue, but can get torn or otherwise injured, producing weakness that leads to frequent injury or the inability of a specific joint to function properly. Some medical conditions like systemic lupus and systemic sclerosis can cause tendon weakness.
