α-smooth muscle actin stain (brown color) in the three groups. (a) A control wound showing minimal staining which is mainly confined to the few dermal blood vessels (magnification 10x). (b) An experimental 100 nM nAG wound showing moderate staining which is more pronounced in the upper dermis (magnification 10x). (c) An experimental 150 nM nAG wound showing intense staining of the entire dermis (magnification 10x).
