Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

In the study of "Role of pantothenic and ascorbic acid in wound healing processes: in vitro study on fibroblasts" by Lacroix B, Didier E, Grenier JF., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers indicated that when cultures were incubated with PA and AA, the release of intracellular protein into the culture medium increased. These results suggest that the combined use of these two vitamins might be of interest in postsurgical therapy and in wound healing.
