OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate potential skin sensitization and collagen synthesis of rats receiving proteoglycan (PG) serum.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Eighteen rats were randomly divided into 3 groups equally and assigned to receive 1 ml of serum base (control), 1% PG and 2% PG applied to skin. Histological analysis was evaluated for potential skin sensitization and collagen synthesis on days 7, 14, 21 and 28.

RESULTS

Histological analysis showed that 1% PG and 2% PG accelerated collagen synthesis. The evaluation of potential skin sensitization, on day 7, 14, 21 and 28 of rat applied with 1% PG and 2% PG were not significantly different when compared to the control group.

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrated that PG serum accelerated collagen synthesis and low potential skin sensitization.
