Abstract
Experimentally created forty eight wounds of similar size and shape were randomly
divided in to three groups, of 16 wounds in each group. Sunflower seed oil impregnated gauze were
subjected to the wounds of goats belonging to group I, while Olive oil (Olea europaea) impregnated
gauze were subjected to the wounds of goats of group II and normal saline solution (control) soaked
gauze to the wounds of goats of group III. Healing tissues were collected from the junction of wound
and intact skin from all the experimental wounds in each of the three groups on 3, 10, 15 and 25 days.
Biochemical examinations of healing tissue were done for collagen, elastin, hexosamine and
hydroxyproline. The level of collagen, elastin, hexosamine and hydroxyproline were significantly higher
in group I followed by group II and then group III. It can be concluded that both sunflower oil and
olive oil are effective for acceleration of wound healing and sunflower oil is more effective than olive
oil.
