Effect of EECN on tissue hydroxyproline content in excision wound model.

Group	Dry weight of tissues (mg)	Hydroxyproline content (µg/100 mg tissues)
Group I (untreated)	42.66 ± 1.13	27.50 ± 0.71
Group II (ointment base treated)	44.31 ± 0.8	28.13 ± 0.92
Group II (standard)	44.33 ± 2.0	34.50 ± 0.84 a∗∗∗, b∗∗∗
Group III (2% w/w, ointment)	41.66 ± 1.22	31.83 ± 0.74 a∗∗, b∗∗
Group IV (5% w/w, ointment)	39.0 ± 3.12	32.16 ± 0.65 a∗∗, b∗∗

All values are represented as mean ± SEM, n = 6 animals in each group. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons Test. a: significant difference as compared to untreated group (group I); b: significant difference as compared to ointment base treated group (group II), and ^∗∗ P < 0.01, ^∗∗∗ P < 0.001.
