Wound healing activity of aqueous extract of Crotalaria verrucosa in Wistar albino rats

Preliminary pharmacological evaluation of Martynia annua Linn leaves for wound healing

“…The tensile strength of incision wound tissues in all fractions and reference ointment treated groups was measured on day 9 and significantly increased in all fractions and reference groups than the control group (P<0.01) ( Table 2). …”

“…After stitching, wound was left undressed and all groups were treated as the same as in excision method up to wounds were healed completely. After complete healing sutures were removed on day 9 and tensile strength of healed wound skin was measured using Tensiometer [9,10] .…”

“…This was left to stand for 10 min and then treated with Folin-Ciocalteau reagent that resulted in a bluish color in [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] min. The absorbance was measured in UV (Cintra) Spectrophotometer at 660 nm [14] .…”

Anti–inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity of methanolic Tecomaria capensis leaves extract

“…Methanolic T. capensis leaves extract significantly reduced the pyrexia induced by yeast in rats. The reference drug aspirin also suppressed the yeast-induced fever in rats by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 [19,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] . These results support the use of T. capensis as an antipyretic for the treatment of fever.…”

“…and an equivalent amount of normal saline (10 mL/kg), respectively 1 h before the formalin injection. The time spent on licking the injected paw by each rat was observed as soon (early phase 0-5 min, postinjection) as the formalin was injected and later (late phase [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] min, post injection). The mean of the time spent on licking injected paw in each group was determined [10] .…”
