CICATRIZATION OF WOUNDS : XIII. THE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
1Laboratories of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
Abstract:
For a rise of temperature of 10 degrees C., the rate of cicatrization was increased about twofold. This result could be expected, since wound healing is closely related to the phenomenon of growth and regeneration. It is classical that changes in temperature affect the metabolism and the development of certain organisms in the same manner as a chemical reaction. In spite of the complexity of the factors which bring about the cicatrization of a wound, it appears that the velocity of the phenomenon depends on the rate at which certain chemical changes take place.
