Rats given a specific dose of salmon collagen peptides after C-section surgery healed faster with stronger skin wounds compared to rats not given the peptides.

Scientific Claim

Oral administration of marine collagen peptides at 1.125 g/kg body weight in rats following cesarean section is associated with higher skin wound tensile strength at 7, 14, and 21 days post-surgery compared to vehicle control.

Original Statement

“The skin wound tensile strength of rats in the 1.125 g kgbw−1 MCP-treated group was significantly higher than that in the vehicle-treated group on Days 7, 14, and 21 post-caesarean, respectively (p<0.05)”

Similar Assertions

After two weeks, the skin wounds of rats given the peptides had more collagen, which is the main structural protein needed for strong healing.

Higher doses of the peptides led to stronger skin and uterine wounds, with the highest dose showing the best results.

The peptides helped form more blood vessels in the skin wounds of rats within a week, which is important for delivering nutrients to heal the wound.

Rats given the peptides healed their skin wounds about a day or two faster than those not given the peptides.

Rats given the peptides had more hydroxyproline in their skin wounds, which is a key component of collagen and helps in tissue repair.
