Effect of C. viscosa methanol extract (CvME) on COL3A1, bFGF, and Smad-2, Smad-3, Smad-4, and Smad-7 protein expressions on day 7 (seven) in wound tissues, detected by Western blot. Lane (1) represents nontreated, (2) vehicle control, and (3) CvME and (4) gentamicin sulfate treated animal group, respectively. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Asterisk (*) indicates significantly different as compared to the nontreated and vehicle treated groups. Hash (#) indicates significantly different as compared to gentamicin sulfate treated group.
