Figure 2

Macroscopic wound healing. (a) Four mm diameter wounds were produced and healing was recorded by photography. Bar 5 mm. (b) The ratios of wound areas to initial area on day 0 are shown on line graphs for each day. There were significant differences between the OVX + 17β-estradiol and OVX groups on days 4 and 11–14. However, there were no significant differences between the SHAM and OVX groups or between the SHAM and OVX + 17β-estradiol groups. Values are expressed as mean ± SD, , for each group, ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer, : OVX versus OVX + 17β-estradiol.
