How controlling blood fats and sugar affects healing of diabetic wounds

Abstract

Hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia are associated with chronic diabetic wounds.

  • Key metabolic pathways, including the hexosamine biosynthetic and polyol pathways, contribute to wound development.
  • Inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress play significant roles in the progression of diabetic wounds.
  • Therapeutic strategies like metformin, PPAR agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 receptor agonists may help modulate inflammation and restore cellular function.
  • Combination therapies and advanced treatment options, such as negative pressure wound therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, address both systemic metabolic issues and local wound challenges.
  • Improved control of glucose and lipids is critical for optimizing the healing of diabetic wounds.
