ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The liquid smoke of coconut endocarp (LS-CE) contains high antioxidants that promote oral ulcer healing in diabetics. This study reveals the profile of inflammatory cell responses to oral ulcer healing in diabetics under treatment with LS-CE. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A diabetic model was induced with alloxan. Treatment with LS-CE was performed on oral ulcer at a dose of 1 µL/g weight for 3, 5, and 7 days. The anti-inflammatory effect was tested on animal's oral ulcer model by measuring the inflammatory cell responses of the neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts through histological assessment.RESULTS:
The LS-CE stimulated the healing by simultaneously increasing the inflammatory cell responses. The numbers of neutrophils, macrophages, and fibroblasts after treatment for 7 days are higher than that after 3 days and 5 days (p < 0.01), but not for neutrophils. The LS-CE shows increase in the fibroblasts by hastening responses of macrophage recruitment by five times, but not neutrophil and lymphocyte recruitment. The higher phenolic compounds in LS-CE are responsible for increase in the proliferation of fibroblasts, as it hastens cellular responses of macrophages.CONCLUSIONS:
The application of LS-CE enables hastening of the healing of diabetic oral ulcer by stimulating the macrophages.
