The present study aimed to investigate the effects of combined Linn. (PE) and simvastatin (SIM) on diabetic wounds in male BALB/C mice. Bilateral full thickness wound excisions were performed in the control and diabetic groups (45 mg/kg streptozotocin, intraperitoneally injected daily for 5 days).

Matrix metalloproteinases are enzymes that play a role in diabetic wound pathogenesis.

Method: Bilateral, full-skin thickness wounds were created as an in vivo wound model in BALB/C diabetic nude mice. The mice were separated into five groups: control (CON); diabetes mellitus (DM, from a streptozotocin injection); DM treated with MSCs (DM+MSCs); DM treated with VitC (DM+VitC), and DM treated with MSCs and VitC (DM+MSCs+VitC).

Objective: To evaluate the effects of pre-treatment with low-dose simvastatin on angiogenesis and wound healing in a diabetic mouse model.
Material And Methods: Balb/c nude mice were divided into three groups, including control (CON), diabetic (DM, and diabetic pre-treated with low-dose simvastatin (DM+ SIM). Seven days prior to wounding, the DM + SIM group was started on oral simvastatin (0.
To investigate whether the combined endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could enhance angiogenesis and wound healing in diabetic mice. Balb/c nude mice were divided into five groups, including a control group, diabetic group (DM), DM injected with 1 × 10(6) cells MSCs, DM injected with 1 × 10(6) cells EPCs, and DM injected with combined 0.5 × 10(6) cells MSCs and 0.
