| dc.description.abstract | Medicinal Plants have the potential to heal wounds. Lemon grass is one of several plants that have antifungal and wound healing properties. The purpose of this study is to confirm the antifungal and wound healing properties of lemon grass extracts in albino rats with acid-burned injuries. The antifungal potential of lemon grass extracts (20 µl and 40 µl) on Candida albicans showed remarkable positive results by indicating the inhibition zone. Lemon grass extracts demonstrated best antifungal results at 20 µl. At 40 µl, it also showed excellent antifungal results. The wound healing potential of lemon grass extracts was estimated using the wound index measurement, antioxidant estimation, sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and histological test. The results obtained were highly significant. Lemon grass demonstrated remarkable wound contraction potential by increasing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level at different doses (50 and 100 mg/ml). Lemon grass extracts demonstrated the greatest wound healing potential at 100 mg/ml (the VEGF marker increased, while apoptosis decreased) whereas at 50 mg/ml it also demonstrated great wound healing ability. In addition, the histopathological tests also confirmed the wound healing potential of lemon grass extracts. Based on the above results, the extraction, recognition, and purification of phytochemicals from lemon grass extracts is strongly recommended as a viable extension for future research. | |
