diabetes is characterized by a nitric oxide deficiency at the wound site. diabetes is a factor that influences all stages of wound healing. in animals with acute experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin (stz), the early inflammatory responses after wounding is impaired, fibroblast and endothelial cell proliferation is reduced as well as accumulation of reparative collagen and gain in wou...

An in vitro study on the role of intracellular calcium ions in healing of excisional wound in rabbit was undertaken. We employed two drugs namely, glibenclamide and nitroglycerin that are topically applied in vivo to modulate the activity of intracellular calcium. Our model consisted of a 15 ´ 15 mm excisional wound. Seven groups of New Zealand rabbits were used. The first three groups served a...

  Impaired wound healing is a well-documented complication in diabetes mellitus. With respect to the mechanism involved in impairment of wound healing in diabetic subjects and also the biological effects of fish oil and ω-3 fatty acids, in this study it was tried to examine whether fish oil-rich diet accelerates wound healing in diabetic rats or not? The adult male rats were divided into six gr...

accelerating wound healing is now considered as a principle clinical treatment and increasing the quality and speed of healing which has always been emphasized by the scientists. propolis and honey are natural bee products with wide range of biological and medicinal properties. this study was aimed to determine the synergistic effect of honey and propolis in wound healing of rat skin. a total o...

The absence of a universally accepted mathematical model for assessment of the effectiveness of drugs in the process of wound healing is one of the problems the health professionals have been faced. In this study, an “empirical” mathematical model is presented to evaluate its reliability from an experimental viewpoint and from a comparative aspect with previous models used to study wound healin...
