  1. Each value is Mean ± S.E.M (n = 3). (*) indicates statistically significant difference from respective group using ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (** p < 0.01). (†) indicates statistically no significant difference from respective group using ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (p > 0.05). a = when compared with Normal control, b = when compared with diabetic wound control. Group I = normal control, Group II = Diabetic wound control, Group III = Diabetic wound control +100 mg ethanolic extract of E. hirta, Group IV = Diabetic wound control +200 mg ethanolic extract of E. hirta, Group V = Diabetic wound control +400 mg ethanolic extract of E. hirta, Group VI = Diabetic wound control +5% Povidone iodine, Group VII = Diabetic wound control +5% ethanolic extract of E. hirta, Group VIII = Diabetic wound control +10% ethanolic extract of E. hirta
