Effect of EECN on tensile strength of wound in incision wound model.

Groups	Wound breaking strength (g)
Group I (untreated)	168.35 ± 3.53
Group II (ointment base treated)	172.95 ± 1.24
Group III (standard)	210.76 ± 6.65 a∗∗∗, b∗∗
Group IV (2% w/w, ointment)	191.35 ± 6.43 a∗∗, b∗∗, c∗
Group V (5% w/w, ointment)	201.83 ± 4.98 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); c: significant difference as compared to standard group (group III), and ^∗ P < 0.05, ^∗∗ P < 0.01, and ^∗∗∗ P < 0.001.
