Effectiveness of Aqueous Extract of Marine Baitworm Marphysa moribidii Idris, Hutchings and Arshad, 2014 (Annelida, Polychaeta), on Acute Wound Healing Using Sprague Dawley Rats

Figure 1

Wound healing percentage (WHP) in different treatment groups was measured on days 3, 7, 11, and 14 after wounding. All treatments were applied once daily on rat’s wound for 14 days (NO = no treatment (negative control), PCG = 15% positive control gamat, PCA = 0.1% positive control acriflavine, PE 0.1% = 0.1% polychaete extract, PE 0.5% = 0.5% polychaete extract, PE 1.0% = 1.0% polychaete extract prepared in cetomacrogol ointment, and NC = cetomacrogol ointment (negative control)). The result demonstrated that PE 1.0% showed rapid wound closure as compared with other treatments. Data for WHP from each group is tabulated in Supplementary Table S2. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA. indicates significant difference between PE 1.0% and negative control.
