Antioxidant Sol-Gel Improves Cutaneous Wound Healing in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Figure 4
H & E stain in the saline control (a), Pluronic F127 (b), saline plus vitamin C (c), and Pluronic F127 plus vitamin C (d). Epidermal maturation was scored histologically from “no migration” (0) to “completed migration with keratinization” (4). The mean score of epidermal maturation is displayed in (e). Significant epidermal maturation indicated by migration of keratinization was shown here in the groups of SC and FC when compared with the group of Saline 14 days after wounding (e). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. *Four groups are significantly different when compared with Kruskal-Wallis test and posttest comparing all pairs of columns. S: saline control; F: Pluronic F127; SC: saline plus vitamin C; FC: Pluronic F127 plus vitamin C. Original magnifications taken at ×200.
