Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6 rats in each group) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tuckey’s test; acompared with simple ointment; bcompared with MEBO ccompared with 5% EAF; dcompared with 5% n-HF, ecompared with 10% n-HF;fcompared with 5% AF, gcompared with 10% AF; w/w = weight by weight; SO = simple ointment; ; # = ; MEBO = moist-exposed burn ointment; EAF, n-HF & AF are ethyl acetate, n-hexane, and aqueous fractions of A. Mexicana, respectively. The initial wound area was 250 mm2. Values in the bracket are % of contractions. |
