Complications in the healing process are challenging, especially in clinical situations of caloric restriction (CR). The lasertherapy becomes an important strategy that aids the repair, especially in CR. Thus, it is important to investigate the InGaAlP-660 nm laser as an strategy to repair cutaneous wounds in rats submitted to 30% of CR and to understand the tissue repair in clinical situations of CR. Thirty-six male Wistar rats were used, of which half were fed with 30% less ration, and half with ad libitum diet, for 21 days. Then, punch lesions of 1.5 cm in diameter were made on the animals backs, which were divided into: NR (no-restricted), R (restricted)-both before lesion; C (control), RC (restricted-control), L (laser), RL (restricted-laser)-after lesion. Samples of the skin/lesion/scar were collected on the 2nd, 7th and 14th days post-injury for histological, biochemical and molecular analyses. The R group showed reduction of body mass, epidermal/dermal thickness, inflammation, angiogenesis, fibroplasia and collagenesis. The RL group showed control of inflammation, oxidative damage and increase of antioxidants than RC, which probably favored angiogenesis, collagenesis and reepithelialization, similar to C and L. Thus, 30% of CR impaired the skin (before lesion). In the lesion, lasertherapy has shown to be effective in tissue repair mainly in CR status, being thus, the laser clinically important strategy to tissue repair in critical situations of caloric restriction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
