ELISA estimation of wound healing-related markers: TGF-β1 [transforming growth factor beta 1, (A)], VEGF [vascular endothelial growth factor, (B)], Ang-1 [angiopoietin-1, (C)], and MMP-9 [matrix metalloproteinase-9, (D)] at two intervals [5 and 15 days post-treatment (dpt)] in response to the therapeutic effects of hydrogel loaded with pomegranate peel extract-hyaluronic acid-silver nanoparticles (PPE-HA-AgNPs) at different concentrations for 15 days in cutaneous wounds in rats experimentally infected with C. albicans. Control: C. albicans infected and non-treated rats, commercial cream: ketoconazole cream (2%), PEE-HA-AgNPsI: 25% concentration of the formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsII: 50% concentration of the formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsIII: full concentration of the formulated nanocomposite. a–eMean values with distinct letters in the same column changed significantly (p < 0.05).
