Myofibroblast Expression in Skin Wounds Is Enhanced by Collagen III Suppression

Table 1

“Relative” collagen I and collagen III contents in experimental groups compared to the control group (the collagen content in the control group is considered as 1).

	Relative collagen I content	Relative collagen III content
Control	1	1
Low dose nAG experimental group	0.16 ± 0.06	0.5 ± 0.11
High dose nAG experimental group	0.15 ± 0.07	0.1 ± 0.02

Both experimental groups had significantly () less collagen I and collagen III contents than controls. When the two experimental groups were compared to each other, there was no significant difference () in collagen I content but the high dose nAG group had significantly more collagen III suppression () than the low dose nAG group.
