Mean + SD of the numerical density of the fibroblasts (×103 per mm3), volume densities of the collagen bundles (%) and vessels (%), length density (mm/mm3), and the mean diameter (m) of the vessels in the dermis of the wounded rats treated with Hypericum perforatum 5% and 10% gels (HP5% and HP10%), those treated with gel base, and the untreated group (control).
