Oral Administration of Linoleic Acid Induces New Vessel Formation and Improves Skin Wound Healing in Diabetic Rats

Abstract: IntroductionImpaired wound healing has been widely reported in diabetes. Linoleic acid (LA) accelerates the skin wound healing process in non-diabetic rats. However, LA has not been tested in diabetic animals.ObjectivesWe investigated whether oral administration of pure LA improves wound healing in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.MethodsDorsal wounds were induced in streptozotocin-induced type-1 diabetic rats treated or not with LA (0.22 g/kg b.w.) for 10 days. Wound closure was daily assessed for two wee… Show more

“…Linolenic acid and its derivatives have been shown to modify the immune response, inhibiting the inflammatory response through inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis-α and interleukin-12; and also promoting wound healing [42]. Linolenic acid has also been shown to improves cell migration [43], enhance cerebral vasodilatation [44] and induce angiogenesis [45]. Xanthine was related to wound hydration and this corroborates with Méchin et al who proposed xanthine derivatives are able to correct the hydration of the epidermis [46].…”

“…LA constitutes 40% of the fatty acids in the skin and plays an important role for its function [21]. In previously published studies from our group, a beneficial function of ω-6 in the skin wound healing process has been demonstrated [19,21].…”

“…After homogenization, samples were centrifuged, and the supernatant collected. IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, CXCL-1, CXCL-2, TIMP-1 and VEGF concentrations were determined by ELISA as previously described [21] using the Duo Set kit (R&D System, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.). The results were normalized to the amount of protein in the tissue homogenate determined using the method of Bradford [22].…”

“…However, on the 14th and 21st day of healing, the number of new formed vessels was not different in relation to the other groups. Angiogenesis has also been observed in wounds of diabetic rats with the administration of brown algae, Cystoseira trinodis 15 , Curcumim 16 and linoleic acid 17 , but these compounds showed angiogenic activity for more than 14 days.…”
