Abstract

In the evolutionary process, the ability to repair damage has become essential for organisms survival. The skin is a protective barrier constantly renewed. If this barrier is breached by an injury or infection, a rapid repair program is activated. This program is known as healing or tissue repair, consists of three interdependent and concurrent phases: the early inflammatory phase (lasting from minutes to days), the proliferative phase (days to weeks) and the remodeling phase (lasting from weeks to months). Though essential for the initiation of repair, exacerbated inflammatory response, prolonged or inappropriate can cause even more damage to the body. Thus, knowledge of the mechanisms governing this response is essential for the resolution of wound healing. Fatty acids play different roles in cells besides being used as energetic substrates. Some are embedded in cell membranes, are involved in intracellular signaling, influence the activity of transcription factors and the expression of many genes and are precursors of the synthesis of eicosanoids (such as arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid) and may then regulate the inflammatory response. Currently, it has been described that the central nervous system (CNS) plays a key role in regulating inflammation. According to some studies, the change in consumption of certain lipids can, throug the cholinergic pathway, assist in the resolution of inflammatory phase, present during the healing process of wounds. Thus, our goal is to investigate the mechanisms by which linoleic acid facilitates and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) hinder the resolution of wound healing. Our hypothesis is based on the essentiality of the inflammatory response to tissue regeneration process. We believe that these fatty acids modulate the inflammatory phase, acting on the cells of the immune system, inducing / inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and that the vagal innervation of the skin is one of the means by which these fatty acids exert their functions.
