Effect of Zn²⁺ or Se²⁺ added papaya extracts on PMNL and fibroblast recruitment. On day 4, wounds treated with PE, WE, PEZ and WES showed reduced number of PMNL (a) and increased number of fibroblasts (b). On day 10, wounds treated with PE, WE, PEZ, and WEZ showed reduced number of infiltrating PMNL (c) with increased number of fibroblasts (d). *, #, † and ● show significant decrease of PMNL and increase of fibroblasts when compared to NC, PC, PE and WE respectively.
