Possible mechanisms of action involved in the wound healing process. Antimicrobial activity of (A) normal saline-immersed gauze, (B) CH/GP and (C) CH/GP/Cur. Red arrows indicate the bacterial inhibition zone. (D and E) Selected protein and gene expression profiles of the NF-κB pathway in the different groups. (F-H) The effect of the different dressings on (F) superoxide dismutase, (G) catalase and (H) lipid peroxidation levels in the wounded tissue on day 7 post-wounding. Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation; **P<0.01 and *P<0.05, one-way ANOVA. CH/GP/Cur, chitosan/β-glycerophosphate-β-cyclodextrin-curcumin.
