Here are relevant quotes from the study :

Highlights

  • HG inhibits the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in endothelial cells.
  • Mel activates the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.
  • Mel upregulates HIF-1α expression by activating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.
  • Mel improves endothelial cell angiogenesis and mitochondrial function via AMPK/SIRT1/HIF-1α pathway to promote wound healing.

The study lays a theoretical foundation for a deeper understanding of the mechanism of Mel to improve diabetic wound healing.

Melatonin Gel may be a potential way to apply melatonin for this purpose. Directions how to make melatonin gel here :
