Topical protein C promotes wound healing
An article in the Archives of Dermatology reports that patients with chronic leg ulcers benefited from topical protein C treatment.
All study participants with recalcitrant leg ulcers saw rapidly improved healing following treatment with activated protein C.
The likely mechanism of action is activated protein C’s recognized ability to stimulate angiogenesis and reepithelialization and to inhibit inflammation.
What the hell is protein C? Protein C is an enzyme component of the chemical cascade that controls blood coagulation (clotting), except it works to break down clots. Protein C deficiency prepredisposes one to venous thrombosis and habitual abortion.
