Abstract EN
Camellia sinensis (tea) is reported to have health benefits, including the building of healthy skin.
This study evaluated the effects of topical application of Camellia sinensis extract on the rate of wound closure and the histology of wound area.
A uniform area of 2.00 cm in diameter was excised from the neck of adult male Sprague Dawley rats.
The animals were topically treated with 0.2 mL of vehicle (CMC), Intrasite gel (positive control), or 200 and 400 mg/mL of extract.
Wounds dressed with the extract and Intrasite gel healed significantly earlier than those with vehicle.
Histological analysis of the wound area after 10 days showed that wounds dressed with the extract had less scar width when compared to the control.
The tissue contained less inflammatory cells and more collagen and angiogenesis, compared to wounds dressed with vehicle.
In this study, Camellia sinensis showed high potential in wound healing activity.
