Humera Sadia*

ABSTRACT

Diabetes induced wound healing study was conducted to investigate the diabetes induced wound healing potentials of ethanolic extracts of dried fruits of Syzygium Cuminiby using Incision wound model in Sprague Dowley rats. The diabetes induced wound healing activity was conducted to evaluate the unexplored herbal plant material to provide a scientific evidence of their claimed pharmacological properties. Incision wound model is one of the simulatory modules of postoperative care which replicates the true clinical conditions. This method is highly reliable, versatile and effective The ethanolic extract has shown a greatly significant result when compared to control and standard. Diabetes induced wound healing properties were remarkable and highly reproducible. The tensile strength was nearly equal to healthy skin and also in comparison with the standard and control. In the present paper a complete consolidated profile is reviewed here.
