Abstract
Impaired diabetic wound healing causes foot ulcers. We investigated egg yolk oil for skin wound healing in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Rats were allocated into three groups of six. Group 1, nondiabetic control group, was treated topically with 2% fusidic acid ointment. Group 2, STZ diabetic control, was treated topically with 2% fusidic acid ointment. Group 3, STZ diabetic group, was treated topically with egg yolk oil. Three days after STZ injection, two full thickness excisional skin wounds were created on the back of each animal. Wound diameter was measured for 14 days and wound contraction was calculated. Re-epithelization time also was determined. Three rats from each group were sacrificed on experimental day 7 and the remaining rats on day 14. Wound samples were examined using hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, Masson's trichrome, Taenzer-Unna orcein and toluidine blue staining. Expression of endoglin (CD105), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were investigated using immunohistochemistry. Egg yolk oil increased the proliferation of epithelial cells and angiogenesis, and stimulated collagen deposition in the lesion area. Egg yolk oil increased CD105, EGF and VEGF expression in blood vessels, and EGF and VEGF expression in epidermis of the lesions. The predominant fatty acids in egg yolk oil are oleic, palmitic and linoleic, which likely were responsible for the beneficial effects of egg yolk oil on diabetic wound healing. Egg yolk oil appears to be a promising therapeutic agent for healing of diabetic wounds.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnic & Histochemistry (formerly Stain technology) is the
official publication of the Biological Stain Commission. The journal has been in continuous publication since 1926.
Biotechnic & Histochemistry is an interdisciplinary journal that embraces all aspects of techniques for visualizing biological processes and entities in cells, tissues and organisms; papers that describe experimental work that employs such investigative methods are appropriate for publication as well.
Papers concerning topics as diverse as applications of histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytochemical probes, autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, tissue culture, in vivo and in vitro studies, image analysis, cytogenetics, automation or computerization of investigative procedures and other investigative approaches are appropriate for publication regardless of their length. Letters to the Editor and review articles concerning topics of special and current interest also are welcome.
