Figure 3

Masson’s trichome stained histopathological section of rat’s skin tissue of different groups at day 14. (a) No treatment (negative control), (b) PCG = 15% positive control gamat, (c) PCA = 0.1% positive control acriflavine, (d) PE 0.1% = 0.1% polychaete extract, (e) PE 0.5% = 0.5% polychaete extract, (f) PE 1.0% = 1.0% polychaete extract prepared in cetomacrogol ointment, and (g) NC = cetomacrogol ointment (negative control). E = epidermis, S = scar/granulation tissue, C = collagen, F = fibroblast, H = hair follicle, B = blood vessel, CC = coarse collagen, and FC = fine collagen. The smaller figure at upper left for each group was indicated by zoomed-out histological tissue at magnification 40x; Bar = 500 μm. Larger size figure in each group indicated the zoomed-in histological skin tissue and 200x; Bar = 500 μm.
