Fig. 5From: Collagen extract obtained from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) skin accelerates wound healing in rat model via up regulating VEGF, bFGF, and α-SMA genes expressionRelative gene expression of VEGF: Vascular endothelial growth factor, bFGF: basic fibroblast growth factor, and α-smooth muscle actin: α-SMA: genes in wounded rats of CG: control group and TCG: tilapia collagen treated group. Values are expressed as mean ± SE from triplicate groups (n = 06). Bars with an asterisk are significantly different from those of control group (P < 0.05)Back to article page
