Effect of Co-Administration of Vitamin E Isoforms d-<i>α-Tocopherol</i> and d-δ-<i>Tocotrienol Rich Fraction</i> on the Healing of Skin Wounds in Diabetic Rats
Abstract:Abstract:Normal wound healing involves sequence of events which is believed to be altered in diabetes due to hyperglycemia, infection and oxidative stress. The latter may be reduced by antioxidants which neutralize the chain formation of free radicals. Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant and has saturated tocopherols and unsaturated tocotrienols. The most active form being the α-tocopherol. The present study was designed to explore the combined effect of d-α-tocopherol and d-δ-tocotrienol rich fraction (d-δ-… Show more
