Prolonged inflammation and increased oxidative stress impairs healing in diabetics and
application of curcumin, a well known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, could be an
important strategy in improving impaired healing in diabetics. So, the present study was
conducted to evaluate the cutaneous wound healing potential of topically applied curcumin
in diabetic rats. Open excision skin wound was created in streptozotocin induced diabetic
rats and wounded rats were divided into three groups; i) control, ii) gel-treated and iii) …
