title: [Studies on the modification of wound healing by a lack of essential fatty acids].
abstract: A fat-free diet produces a deficiency of essential fatty acids in Wistar rats. This is associated with disturbances of wound healing in the colon and skin due to an impaired collagen metabolism, since hydroxyproline content in the wound area is decreased. The results are of clinical significance with regard to total parenteral nutrition in surgical patients.
