Omegaven improves skin morphometric indices in diabetic rat model wound healing

The global prevalence of diabetes is estimated to be 200 million people, and it is likely to increase to 333 million people by 2025. Different cells, cytokines and growth factors are known to participate in three main phases of wound healing. Omega-3 fatty acids influence these factors during wound healing which affects the presence of inflammatory cells in wound area as well, but how this event specifically influences the role of fibroblasts, macrophages and angiogenesis in wound healing is not obviously understood.
