One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test, with p ≤0.05 (n =5). FST: wounded animal without treatment; NeBa: wounded animal treated with neomycin 5 mg/g + sulfate bacitracin zinc 250 IU/g; Dex: wounded animals treated with dexpanthenol 5%; Col: wounded animals treated with collagenase 1.2 IU; Emulgel: wounded animals treated with emulgel (vehicle); Car: wounded animals treated with β-caryophyllene emulsion; Control: animals without lesion and treatment – physiologic pattern.
