Evaluation of the effects of polarized light (λ400-200 nm) on the healing of third-degree burns in induced diabetic and nondiabetic rats.
The study evaluated, by light microscopy, the repair process on third-degree burns on diabetic and nondiabetic rats, illuminated or not, with a polarized light (PL) source. ⋯ Our results suggest that the use of PL (10.2 J/cm(2)) improves the healing of third-degree burns on both diabetic and nondiabetic animals.
