LINOLEIC ACID ACCELERATES WOUND HEALING AND IMPROVES COLLAGEN DEPOSITION IN DIABETIC MICE THROUGH IL-6 DEPENDENT SIGNALING

The wound healing process is essential for restoring injured tissue, but it can be impaired in diabetic individuals due to inflammation and angiogenic disorders. Linoleic acid has shown potential in modulating membrane composition, immune system activation, and wound healing in rats. However, the effects of oral linoleic acid supplementation on diabetic wound healing remain poorly understood.
