    (DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY KINNAIRD COLLEGE FOR WOMEN UNIVERSITY LAHORE,, 2023-06-15) Nadia Khan
    Guar gum is one of the medicinal plants that has been used for various diseases treatments. The purpose of this study is to assess the guar gum plant's capacity to wound healing process and prevent cancer in acid-burned rats. The wound healing capacity of Guar gum extract at different doses (50 and 100 mg/ml) was estimated by using different biochemical experiments. Wound index measurement was done to study wound healing ability of guar gum powder aqueous extract and results were significant indicating the wound healing ability of plant. The maximum potential of healing was observed at 100 mg/ml dose that was (2.2±0.24). MTT assay calculations were used to determine the anticancer effectiveness. The angiogenesis was assessed using the ELISA procedure and antibodies against VEGF (2.6±0.052) and Annexin (1.1±0.033). Biochemical analysis shows that wound become better after treatment with guar gum powder. The high dose level of guar gum plant powder treatment in the current study suggests that it has both anticancer and wound-healing properties
