Measurements of the wound size diameter (cm2) in a control (CG) and an ozonated water (O3W) group during skin wound healing in rats at 0, 3rd, 7th, 9th, 12th, 14th, 21st, 25th, and 28th days post-wound induction (mean ± SD).
| Time post-wounding (day) | CG | O3W |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (day of surgery) | 1.1 ± 0.7 | 1.1 ± 0.7 |
| 3rd | 0.91 ± 0.09 | 0.76 ± 0.05*,† |
| 7th | 0.76 ± 0.007 | 0.56 ± 0.04*,† |
| 9th | 0.63 ± 0.3 | 0.45 ± 0.03* |
| 12th | 0.52 ± 0.04 | 0.16 ± 0.03*,† |
| 14th | 0.43 ± 0.07 | 0.1 ± 0.02* |
| 18th | 0.36 ± 0.07 | 0.02 ± 0.01*,† |
| 21st | 0.25 ± 0.06 | 0.001 ± 0.01*,† |
| 25th | 0.2 ± 0.04 | 0.0 ± 0.0*,† |
| 28th | 0.18 ± 0.04 | 0.0 ± 0.0* |
(*)Means different between the same raw (between groups) are statistically significant at (p ≤ 0.05), while (†)means different in the same column (within the group) are statistically significant at (p ≤ 0.05) for different time point.
