Evaluation of Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kanehira Extracts on Tyrosinase Suppressor, Wound Repair Promoter, and Antioxidant

Figure 5

The wound healing of C. osmophloeum extracts on animal model. (a) Wound healing after 0, 1, 3, and 5 days after injury. After the full thickness excisions of 1 cm in diameter were made, the petroleum jelly (8% DMSO, w/v) or 0.8 mg C. osmophloeum extracts covered on the hurt. For injury group, wounds were not covered for control. At the first day, the wound healing area from petroleum jelly (8% DMSO) group was smaller than that of C. osmophloeum group until 5 days. (b) The differences between wounds of petroleum jelly (8% DMSO, w/v, blue solid triangle) and 0.8 mg C. osmophloeum group (orange solid circle) were statistically significant at day 5. Data: the mean value ± SD (triplicate values in two independent experiments); , .
