Healing Effect of Aloe Vera on Wound in Albino Mice

Present study is an attempt to investigate wound healing efficiency of Aloe verajuice on excision wound model.This study was undertaken to evaluate the wound healing properties of Aloe vera, for purpose different conc. of Aloe vera juicewere applied with respect toBetadine on excision wound in albino mice.The effect of Aloe vera juice application on excision wound contraction (area in mm 2 ) in mice was observed on 4 th day, all means vary significantly (p<0.01) with each other. Higher wound contraction was achieved with 5% (137.427±3.454mm 2 ) followed by 25% (85.068±1.872mm 2 ) and 50% (54.583 ±1.904mm 2 ) of Aloe vera juice as compared to Betadine (50.265± 1.798mm 2 ). It is clears that the higher wound contraction area in mm 2 ) was observed in Aloe juice treated wound having maximum with5% (192.523± 2.903mm 2 )followed by 25% (179.118±4.511mm 2 ) and 50%(152.452±15.577mm 2 ) as compared to Betadine (143.842±11.446 mm 2 ) treated group on 16 th day of wound creation. The treated group varied significantly with p<0.01 on 16 th day of wound creation. Keyword: Albino mice, Aloe vera, Betadine.
