Reduction of collagen degradation in experimental granulation tissue by vitamin E and selenium
Abstract
The importance of antioxidants in inflammatory tissues has been studied in vivo. Degradation of homologous 3H-collagen powder by experimental granulation tissue induced by cellulose sponges in the rat was monitored as the radioactivity excreted in urine. By administering pharmacological doses of both vitamin E and selenium subcutaneously and by injection into sponges implanted subcutaneously, this breakdown of collagen was reduced. Injections in the sponges also arrested the maturation of the granulation tissue. Vitamin E and selenium are potential inhibitors of the free oxygen radicals from phagocytic inflammatory cells. It is therefore suggested that these radicals may play a rôle in the collagen destruction by granulation tissues, as in periodontitis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
