Nature of Peptide/Cargo | It consistently improves burn healing, counteract the impairment of burn healing induced by systemic corticosteroids, promotes healing in ulcers and wounds with remarkable stability. | |
Mechanism | Not mentioned | |
Cargo Sequence/Structure | None | |
Name of cargo | Not applicable | |
Assay | Macroscopically, gross lesion severity was gauged by the depth of the wound crater (mm), the area of necrosis and the wound area. Microscopically, the factors investigated included oedema, blood vessel formation and their total diameter, the number of preserved hair follicles, reticulin and collagen formation. | |
Enhancer | None | |
Properties of enhancer | Not applicable | |
Concentration | 1 ng (dissolved in distilled water)/g commercial neutral cream | |
Incubation time | Once daily, with the first application 60 min after injury and the last 24 h before killing for 1 day | |
Tissue permeability (value with units) | Parameters studied: Depth of wound crater(mm)=1.85/2.0(control), Wound necrosis area(mm2)=20/27(control), Wound area(mm2)=97.5/100(control), Oedema (µm)=1100/1175(control), No. of blood vessels=2/2(control), Diameter of blood vessels (µm)=875/1000(control), No. of inflammatory cells=103.5/116(control) | |
Tissue Sample | Randomly assigned male mice (NMRI–Hannover) were used to create an injury on the dorsal skin | |
