Effect of propranolol on capsular reaction around silicone implants in guinea pigs

Abstract: PURPOSE:To evaluate the effect of propranolol on capsular architecture around silicone implants by measuring the inflammation, capsular thickness, and collagen fiber density, using a guinea pig experimental model. METHODS:Thirty six adult male guinea pigs randomly divided into two groups (n=18) were used. Each one received a silicone implant with textured-surface. The capsular tissue around implants from untreated or treated animals with the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (10 mg/kg, dissolved in dail… Show more

“…Histologically, fibrous tissue is characterized by excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix components such as fibronectin and collagen, and its formation is triggered by inflammation [31][32][33]. Hence, we next investigated the transcript levels of genes related to fibrosis and inflammation.…”
