Overview
Significant effects of β-glucan resulted in topical application during wound healing with demonstrated reparation, remodelation of collagen biosynthesis and its deposition, resulting in improvement of skin moisture and elasticity andoverall improvements in skin quality. Application in patients with atopic eczema showed significant improvements afteronly two weeks. Positive effects of betaglucan on decubitus, particularly during initial phases, was found even after one week of treatment. These findings suggest the possibility of preventive use of β-glucan in patients with risk of skin problems.
