| dc.description.abstract | Medicinal plants are believed to have wound healing abilities and are found to be very effective in antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer activities. One of these plants with curative properties is the lemon. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial and skin regeneration potential of lemon peel using two E. coli strains and albino rats. The extract in different concentrations of 20 µl and 40 µl was tested against DH5 alpha and BL21 strains, and clear inhibitory zones were observed in both groups. For in vivo investigations, the wound index measurements, sandwich ELISA, antioxidant assays, and histopathological tests of rats were conducted. The two groups of rats were given extracts at doses of 50 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml, and the results were compared to those of injured or untreated rats, which showed wound healing with high levels of VEGF in the treated groups, especially in the group with dose 100 mg/ml. Antioxidant values were found to be highly significant. And the histopathology of skin samples revealed that the skin of treated rats is healing effectively and is almost back to normal. These findings indicate that lemon peel could be very efficient for the treatment of burn wounds and bacterial infections. | |
