Propolis Modifies Collagen Types I and III Accumulation in the Matrix of Burnt Tissue

Figure 6

Typical electropherogram of α (III) subunits, oligomers β/γ (III), and collagen type III degradation products, released from healthy and burned skin. Collagenous components released from tissue samples using pepsin were submitted to 4–15% gradient SDS-PAGE, western blotted, and probed with collagen type III antibodies. Lane 1: components of collagen type I isolated from healthy skin. Lane 2: components of collagen type I isolated from burned skin treated with propolis. Lane 3: components of collagen type I isolated from burned skin treated with AgSD. Lane 4: components of collagen type I isolated from burned skin treated with propolis vehicle. Lane 5: components of collagen type I isolated from burned skin treated with NaCl.
