TLDR Young coconut juice speeds up wound healing.
The study examined the effects of young coconut juice (YCJ) on wound healing in ovariectomized rats, a model for estrogen deficiency. It involved 4 groups of 6 rats each, including a control and groups receiving estradiol benzoate (EB) or YCJ. YCJ was found to accelerate wound healing, evidenced by increased epidermal and dermal thickness, enhanced collagen fibers, and a higher number of hair follicles. The study suggested that YCJ's phytoestrogenic properties acted as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), promoting collagen biosynthesis and wound healing. These findings indicated that YCJ could serve as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, offering potential clinical applications for treating delayed wound healing.
