Popis: Chronic, unhealed diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most severe complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Naringin, a flavanone glycoside antioxidant, was reported to have antidiabetic and anti-apoptotic properties. In the present study DM was induced experimentally by streptozotocin (STZ, 55 mg/kg, i.p.). In surgically introduced wounds on the dorsal surface of the hind paw of rats, the healing potential of naringin was investigated. Rats were treated with naringin (20, 40 and 80 mg/kg, p.o.), insulin (10 IU/kg, s.c.) and tetrachlorodecaoxide (TCDO) (1 drop, twice a day, topically) for 16 days. The wound area was measured every second day, and on day 17 various biochemical parameters were determined in serum, wound tissue, and histopathological examination of the wound was performed. Naringin (40 and 80 mg/kg) significantly (P
