The Role of Glucose Metabolism in Wound Healing: An Overview

January 2025 in “ Burns & Trauma ”

Tao Zhang, Youjing Yang, Junyu Jiang, Wei Du, Guangbin Huang, Dingyuan Du, Shasha Tao

Studysummary In this review, the authors describe how glucose metabolism supports various stages of wound healing by providing energy and necessary substances, noting that abnormal glucose metabolism in chronic wounds increases oxidative stress and inflammation, significantly hindering healing.
