Table 7

Effects of the crude extract on incision wound.

Treatment group	Mean tensile strength ± SEM	Percent of tensile strength
Untreated	169.78 ± 3.41	—
Simple ointment	191.11 ± 3.18	12.56
5% (w/w) extract ointment	282.28 ± 3.17 (ab)^∗∗∗	47.71
10% (w/w) extract ointment	332.52 ± 4.87 (ab)^∗∗∗	74.00
0.2% (w/v) nitrofurazone ointment	330.48 ± 2.80 (ab)^∗∗∗	72.93

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6), and one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey test was used for analysis. ^aCompared to the untreated group; ^bcompared to the simple ointment-treated group. ^∗∗∗ < 0.001.
