Table 3.

Changes in physical characteristics of wounds in different treatment groups.

Treatment groups	Percentage wound contraction on the 10th day	Wound index	Healing period (days)	Tensile strength (g)
Untreated control	54.58 ± 3.45	2.69 ± 0.08	18.83 ± 0.48	257.2 ± 10.73
GGAA treated	69.64 ± 4.86^a	1.94 ± 0.06^a	15.50 ± 0.43^a	356.8 ± 9.88^a
NAg-GGAA treated	98.52 ± 7.54^a,b,c	1.35 ± 0.05^a,b	9.83 ± 0.31^a,b,c	522.5 ± 12.9^{a,b, c}
Silver alginate	89.15 ± 6.96^a,b	1.56 ± 0.05^a,b	12.5 ± 0.43^a,b	460.5 ± 11.66^a,b

Values were mean ± SEM, n = 6 in each group. ^a P < 0.05 compared to control group, ^b P < 0.05 compared to GGAA treated group, ^c P < 0.05 compared to silver alginate group.
