Table 3. Percentage wound contraction for animals receiving low and high dose extracts vs controls.
| Groups | Wound contraction (%) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 3 | Day 7 | Day 14 | Day 21 | |
| Control | 2.4 ± 10.1 | 58.8 ± 6.4 | 95.0 ± 0.3 | 99.9 ± 0.1 |
| Low dose | -14.4 ± 19.1 | 37.1 ± 13.4 | 96.6 ± 1.6 | 100 ± 0.0 |
|
High
dose |
-4.2 ± 8.5 | 47.1 ± 4.1 | 98.7 ± 0.6** | 100 ± 0.0 |
Values are mean ± SEM; **p < 0.01 compared to control animals on similar treatment days. The starting experiment had n=6 animals per group. One animal was sacrificed for histological analysis at day 3, day 7 and day 14. There was n=3 animals remaining at day 21 which is the final day of the experiment.
