The results indicated that administration of b-glucan were effective against burn-induced oxidative tissue damage in the rats (Toklu et al., 2006). In another study, Kim, Lee, Lee, Kwon, and Park (2012) investigated wound-healing effects of the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) membranes containing b-glucan, the findings showed that the membranes accelerated wound healing by improving the interaction, proliferation of cells, and angiogenesis.
