Fig. 6From: Anti-inflammatory and burn injury wound healing properties of the shell of Haliotis diversicolorDetermining the collagen contents of the SJM and vehicle groups using sirius red stain analysis. The paraffin wax tissue sections were stained with sirius red; hence, under a polarized light, collagen I and III appeared red and green, respectively. Fourteen days after burn injury, the collagen I content of each group significantly increased, with the burn + SJM groups having a higher content than did the burn + vehicle group. Conversely, the collagen III contents of the burn + SJM groups were significantly less than that of the burn + vehicle group. Scale = 500 μm; * denotes p < 0.05 compared with the control group and # denotes p < 0.05 compared with the burn + vehicle groupBack to article page
