Centaurium erythraea, a species of flowering plant in the Gentianaceae family, is a plant commonly used in the wound treatment. This study aims to investigate the effect of Centaurium erythraea for enhancing healing process in full-thickness skin wounds in diabetic rabbits. A total of 28 young female New Zealand rabbits were used and animals were divided into four equal groups randomly. Diabetes mellitus was created by injection of alloxan monohydrate. After 15 days following diabetes induction, two full-thickness wounds, a diameter of 2.6 cm, were created equidistantly from the dorsal median line under general anesthesia. For wounds, on a daily bas is, oily homogenized form of Centaurium erythraea was administered in Group 1 (n=7), while pomade form of the titrated extract of Centella asiatica in Group 2 (n=7), pure olive oil in Group 3 (n=7) and normal saline was applied in Group 4 (n=7). Wound edges were measured on the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th and 24th days, furthermore, histopathological and genetic examinations were performed on tissue samples taken on the same days. Examining the wound diameters, healing rates in the Group 1 and Group 2 were found statistica lly significant compared to Group 3 and Group 4 (p<0,05). It was noted that the increase of connective tissue, collagen proliferation and epitelogenesis were significant in Groups 1 and 2 compared to Groups 3 and 4 (p<0.05). IL-6, IL-8 and CXCR1 gene expressions were observed to be low in all diabetic groups. Although the expression values were low in groups 1 and 2, it was found that there was a significant difference in the expression amounts of the target genes on the 4th and 8th days compared to other groups (p <0.0 5). When the wound healing was examined in terms of wound diameters, histopathology and gene expression, it occurred in Group 2, Group 1, Group 3 and Group 4, respectively. In conclusion, oily homogenized form of Centaurium erythraea was found to have a positive effect on full-thickness wound healing of diabetic rabbits.
