A Novel Chemically Modified Curcumin “Normalizes” Wound-Healing in Rats with Experimentally Induced Type I Diabetes: Initial Studies

Figure 3

Histomorphometric assessment of healing (% reduction in wound diameter) of skin wounds in normal (NDC) and diabetic (D) rats treated with vehicle alone (D) and in D rats treated topically with either 0.25% CMC2.24 (D + 0.25% 2.24) or curcumin (D + 0.25% cur) or 1% CMC2.24 (D + 1% 2.24) or curcumin (D + 1% cur). Each value represents the mean ± SEM for 18 measurements per experimental group (3 rats/group).
