Regeneration of the corneal stroma. Although type III collagen and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were observed at the injured area during the healing process, the trimebutine group (c, d) exhibited lower expression of type III collagen and α-SMA than the vehicle group (a, b). Bar, 50 μm. Bar chart of percentages of the expression rate of type III collagen within the corneal stroma during the late phase showing that the trimebutine group had significantly lower percentages of type III collagen than the vehicle group (e). Data are presented as the mean ± standard error (n = 8 samples/group). ***P < 0.001.
