(I) Stereological analysis of wound tissue at different time points post-injury. (A–C) Mean ± SD of the total volume of epidermis and dermis at days 7, 5 and 28 post-injury in the wound healing site in the study groups as compared by the one-way ANOVA and LSD; (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001). (II) Stereological analysis of wound tissue at different time points post-injury. (A–C) Mean ± SD of the number of fibroblasts, neutrophils and basal cells at days 7, 5 and 28 post injury in the wound healing site in the study groups as compared by the ANOVA and LSD; (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001) and Repeated Measures. ANOVA, analysis of variance and LSD, least significant difference; C; D; D + F + B; D + F + B + P. (III, A–L) Micrographs of a wound healing area following injury in different groups at 7, 15, and 28 days in the study groups. H&E staining. Scale bar = 10 µm.
