Rupture strength of skin wounds in jaundiced rats

T Than et al. Br J Exp Pathol. 1979 Feb.

Abstract

The rupture strength of 7-day-old wounds in normal rats, in rats in which there had been a previous skin incision, and in sham bile-duct-ligated and bile-duct-ligated jaundiced groups of rats was studied. It was found that wounds in jaundiced rats were significantly weaker than the wounds in the normal group of rats. Skin wounds in normal animals were significantly stronger than wounds in animals with sham bile-duct ligation. No difference was seen between sham bile-duct-ligated and bile-duct-ligated jaundiced rats.
