The value are expressed as Mean ± SD, n = 6 in each group.

a

P-values show time-point comparison of each group (repeated measures ANOVA).

b

P-values show comparison between the groups (one-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons post-hoc test).

c

Results were adjusted for baseline wound size.
