Efficacy of Annona squamosa L in the Synthesis of Glycosaminoglycans and Collagen during Wound Repair in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 2

In vitro wound healing of HDF cells of control culture and A. squamosa treated (supplemented with 7.8–125 ppm) cultures. Proliferation of HDF cells was observed for 2 days after wound creation. The double headed black arrow shows the margin of scratched area on day 0 as initial wound (IW), and double headed white arrow shows the incomplete healing (IH), whereas white arrow shows the complete healing (CH). A. squamosa treatment shows complete healing on day 2, which clearly indicates that the A. squamosa accelerates the rate of proliferation faster in treated culture than the control.
