The Benefits of Olive Oil Compounds in Healing Burned Skin Lesions

Abstract:

Olive oil was used for decades as a skin protective agent against sunburns and for healing skin lesions. The healing properties of chemical compounds contained in olive oil are an interesting research topic. We study herein the healing properties of olive oil on skin burn lesions in two groups of Wistar rats: Group 1 without olive oil treatment (control, n=10) and Group 2, treated with olive oil (n=10). The healing process was monitored by collagen fibers occurrence from the granulation tissue and re-epithelialization of the epidermis. Our results showed that the rats treated with olive oil had a shorter healing time compared to untreated animals (16±2.10 days vs. 22±2.90 days, p = 0.006). Our previous CG-MS studies analysed the presence of fatty acids in olive oil. In this context, we suppose that these compounds are responsible for the healing properties of olive oil on skin lesions. Since skin burns are encountered in surgery clinics and our results showed that the chemical compounds contained in olive oil speed up the healing process of skin burn lesions, we create herein the premises for meaningful studies on healing thermally damaged skin as part of the wound-healing process. Keywords: olive oil components, burned skin lesion, treatment, healing
