The Effect of Camellia sinensis on Wound Healing Potential in an Animal Model

Table 2

The median histopathologic scores of wound healing were determined in the extract-treated and control groups by using a modified 0 to 4 numerical scale. The scores were 0 for absence, 1 for occasional presence, 2 for light scattering, 3 for abundance, and 4 for confluence of cells or fibres.
