Abstract: PURPOSE: To demonstrate the effects of the use of sunflower seed oil on the treatment of skin wounds. METHODS: Eighteen male Saint Inês lambs were divided in 3 groups according to the pos-operative (7, 14 and 21 days). After antisepsis and local anestesia, two 4cm² wounds on each side of the thoracic region, close to the scapule were surgically produced. The experimental wounds were treated with sunflower seed oil, with high concentration of linoleic acid (LA), and the control ones with sterilized Vaseline. Bi… Show more

“…In the Control group, gaps in the scab were seen on the 7 th day, along with irregular edges due to contraction of the wound, besides the presence of granulation tissue. The Reference group remained with the largest wound area and with irregular edges, which was also found in a study using linoleic acid 15 . The treatments in the three groups contributed to the almost complete closing of the lesions, suggesting that growth factors were probably responsible for the hyperplasia of the epithelium as reported in the literature 17 .…”

“…On the 12 th day, clinical observation showed a smaller wound area characterized by the proximity of the edges (contraction) with irregular outlines and better presence of granulation tissue, like that seen in the study with linoleic acid in sheep 15 .…”
