Figure 6

Effect of fig latex on wound healing and wound closure in diabetic mice. (A) Photographs showing the effect of fig latex on accelerating the healing process in diabetic wounds at each time point from Day 0 (the day of wound creation) until Day 15 (final point). (B) The accumulated data from three individual mice in each group at each time point post-wounding represent the change in diameter (mm). (C) The accumulated results from three animals in each group for each time point post-wounding were calculated by the previously mentioned equation in the Methods section, and the results show the percentage of wound closure. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, Diab. versus cont., +P < 0.05, diabetic mice treated with Latex versus cont., #P < 0.05, diabetic treated with Latex versus diabetic group.
