Betaine ameliorates oxidative stress level at wound sites. (A) Immunofluorescence photomicrographs of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in wounds for the control group, the free betaine solution (4 mg) group and BET@COL (2 mg, 4 mg, and 8 mg) treated group on day seven. Scale bars: 20 μm [10 μm in magnified images (a4–e4)]. (B) Quantitative result of immunofluorescence, n = 5. BET, betaine; COL, collagen. Statistical differences were performed using ANOVA. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, compared to control group.
