Effects of Parenteral Fish‐Oil Emulsion (Omegaven) on Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rats Treated With Dexamethasone

Abstract

According to the parameters we studied, adding parenteral omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to the nutrition regimen of rats treated with dexamethasone does not seem to have adverse effects on wound healing, and effects on wound healing may not need to be considered when determining if these agents should be supplemented in nutrition support regimens.
