Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a debilitating and worrisome chronic disease with many complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, blindness and diabetic wounds. Despite advances in the treatment of diabetic wounds, there are still concerns regarding the management of diabetic wound healing, particularly the inflammatory phase. In addition to many treatments with successful effects on wound healing in diabetic patients, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) acetate, propionate, butyrate, valproate and valerate and their by-products have recently been proposed as new treatments for wound healing in diabetic patients. We provide an overview of the most recent studies on the effectiveness of the above-mentioned SCFAs in the treatment of diabetic wounds as well as possible effects on cytokines in this area of study.
