Fig. 1. The effect of the new polyprenol cream versus methyluracil and dexpanthenol ointments on skin lesion area dynamics in rats with grade III-B thermal burns (mean ± SE). The damaged skin area on day 1 after the burn was taken as baseline (100%). Here and in Figures 2 and 3: C — control; M — methyluracil; D — dexpanthenol; PP — the new polyprenol-based cream. Significance of differences with the control: * — p < 0.05 (Student's t-test)

Fig. 3. The effect of the new polyprenol cream versus methyluracil and dexpanthenol ointments on the degree of histological changes in the skin (points, M ± m) of rats with grade III-B thermal burns. The differences are significant compared to the control and methyluracil, respectively: * and ° — p < 0.05 (Student's t-test)
