Group	Days following wound creation
	3	7
	Wet weight of granulation tissue (mg)
Ctrl	2.86 ± 0.13	3.85 ± 0.13
DM-Ctrl	1.51 ± 0.85	2.04 ± 0.19
DM-SN	2.66 ± 0.56	3.72 ± 0.14
DM-PB	1.98 ± 0.63	3.19 ± 0.15*†

Wet weight of granulation tissues on various days following wound creation. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6) in each group. Ctrl: normal control group; DM-Ctrl: untreated diabetic group; DM-SN: 1% silver nitrate cream treated diabetic group; DM-PB: 50 mg/kg of PB extract treated diabetic group. *Statistically significant compared to DM-Ctrl group (P < 0.05). † Indicates no significant difference in DM-PB group compared to DM-SN group (P > 0.01).
