Brewing complications: the effect of acute ethanol exposure on wound healing

Abstract: Ethanol consumption is linked to a higher incidence of traumatic wounds and increases the risk for morbidity and mortality following surgical or traumatic injury. One of the most profound effects of acute ethanol exposure on wound healing occurs during the inflammatory response, and altered cytokine production is a primary component. Acute ethanol exposure also impairs the proliferative response during healing, causing delays in epithelial coverage, collagen synthesis, and blood vessel regrowth. The accumulate… Show more

“…For instance, it is estimated that for every youth homicide there are around 20–40 victims of non‐fatal youth violence requiring medical treatment [2]. Additionally, there is evidence that acute alcohol intoxication prior to injury significantly reduces the likelihood of a positive outcome following medical treatment [3].…”

“…L‐12‐LOX was used here for the enzymatic synthesis of 14 S ‐HDHA and 14 S ,21‐diHDHA. AE is known to greatly reduces leukocyte infiltration to wounds or inflammation sites as well as leukocyte activation [Radek et al, 2009], which may significantly contribute to the reduction of 14 S ‐hydroxy‐generating L‐12‐LOX‐like activity. P‐12‐LOX also has the14 S ‐hydroxy‐generating activity [Kim et al, 1990].…”
