Abstract:
In order to assess the impact of the early and late tissue repair of Kombucha extract on incised
wounds in animal models, 24 Wistar male rats were used and divided into three groups: one of the
groups received a topical cure on the wound with Brosin, and the other received the Kombucha
extract. The third group did not receive any treatment, working as a control group. The objective
was to evaluate and compare the Kombucha extract with a commercial healing product. Each one
of the animals took a 1 cm wound in depth and length at a femur level on the side of the left thigh.
The healing process was evaluated on an early and late phase by performing a morphometric and
morphological analysis under the assumption of a faster recovery with the use of Kombucha. The
results showed that there was a poor recovery in the control group. On the other hand, the other
two groups, Brosin and Kombucha, were similar, with little inflammation and a high cell proliferation
and migration along with basal array pulls of elastin and collagen, which served for angiogenesis,
repair, and renovation of the new tissue.
