S. Bilal*, S. A. Bhat, A. A. Ahanger, I. Hussain, S. P. Ahmad4, M. R. Mir
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate wound healing potential of Rheum emodi roots. Material Method: Rheum emodi root in powder form was applied on the excision wounds created in rabbits for 14 days with normal saline as control. The physico-chemical parameters studied were wound contraction, and concentration of hydroxyproline, glucosamine, protein and DNA. Results: On day 14 Rheum emodi treated wounds showed 100 % reduction in the wound area as compared to control 82%. The treated wounds exhibited significant increase in hydroxyproline (21.00±0.92 mg/g, treated vs 12.96±0.86 mg/g, control; p Keywords: Rheum emodi, Wound contraction, Hydroxyproline, Glucosamine, Protein, DNA.
