topicOmega-7 Skin Hydration Randomized Trial
claimPalmitoleic acid (C16:1) is a common omega-7 (ω-7) monounsaturated fatty acid constituting approximately 7% of the visceral fatty acids produced by Alaskan pollock [] and has beneficial effects on human metabolism through promotion of cardiac growth, proliferation of pancreatic β-cells, regulation of lipogenesis and fatty acid desaturation in adipocytes, and alleviation of inflammation [].

topicOmega-7 Skin Hydration Randomized Trial
claimThermal injuries are caused by exposure to a variety of sources, and split thickness skin grafts are the gold standard treatment for severe burns; however, they may be impossible when there is no donor skin available.
