| Abstract: | Aqueous extract of leaves of M. oleifera
was investigated and rationalised for its wound healing activity. The aqueous
extract was studied at dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight using resutured
incision; excision and dead space wound models in rats. Significant increase in
wound closure rate, skin-breaking strength, granuloma breaking strength,
hydroxyproline content, granuloma dry weight and decrease in scar area was
observed. The prohealing actions seem to be due to increased collagen
deposition as well as better alignment and maturation. From the results
obtained, it may be concluded that the aqueous extract of M. oleifera has
significant wound healing property. |
