From: Low-Magnitude High-Frequency Vibration Accelerated the Foot Wound Healing of n5-streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Rats by Enhancing Glucose Transporter 4 and Blood Microcirculation

Figure 3

Comparison of the laser Doppler imaging measurement (Flux) between the Ctrl, Ctrl_V, DM, and DM_V groups (n = 6/time point). (A) Images of flux of all groups. DM_V rats had more blood circulation (higher flux) at Day 1 post wounding, and inflammation slowly subsided at Day 4 and reduced at Day 13 post wounding. Inflammation in the wounds of DM rats persisted until Day 13 post wounding. (B) The flux of DM_V rats were significantly higher than those in DM rats at Days 4 and 13 post wounding. The flux of Ctrl_V rats were significantly lower than those in Ctrl rats at Days 8 and 13 post wounding. At Day 1, the flux of DM_V rats was significantly lower than those of Ctrl_V rats. (C) Ctrl_V rats had significantly higher flux than those of DM_V rats. **Significant difference.
