STUDIES ON OROTIC ACID : (II) THE EFFECT OF OROTIC ACID ON WOUND HEALING IN THE EXPERIMENTAL HYPOPROTEINOSIS

Abstract

The orotic acid administration exerted a stimulating effect on wound healing in the protein depleted rats, even when multiaminoacids had been subcutanously injected to the rats. By the administration of orotic acid, the mortality of the animals was remarkably lowered and patho-histological reepithelization was accelerated.
