Pharmacological Investigation of the Wound Healing Activity of Cestrum nocturnum (L.) Ointment in Wistar Albino Rats

Table 4

Effect of EECN on tensile strength of wound in incision wound model.

Groups	Wound breaking strength (g)
Group I (untreated)	168.35 3.53
Group II (ointment base treated)	172.95 1.24
Group III (standard)	210.76 6.65; a, b
Group IV (2% w/w, ointment)	191.35 6.43; a, b, c
Group V (5% w/w, ointment)	201.83 4.98; a, b

All values are represented as mean ± SEM, animals in each group. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons Test. a: significant difference as compared to untreated group (group I); b: significant difference as compared to ointment base treated group (group II); c: significant difference as compared to standard group (group III), and < 0.05, < 0.01, and < 0.001.
