The expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-9, wound closure, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, hydroxyproline, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in wound tissue were measured. Quercetin glucuronide in HCE was identified as main compound using a LC-MS/MS. The hydroxyproline level was significantly increased in the treated group versus control after the 3rd and 7th days (p < 0.05). The MDA level and MPO activity were significantly lower in the treatment group (p < 0.05). MMP-1 gene expression level in treated rats was increased in the 7th day while it was reduced in 14th day. MMP-9 gene expression level in treated rats was decreased in 7th, and 14th days compared to control (p < 0.05). These results show that HCE accelerated the cutaneous wound-healing process in diabetic rats via MMP-1 and MMP-9 regulation.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessdiabetic woundHorse chestnut seed extractLC-MS/MSmatrix metalloproteinase-1matrix metalloproteinase-9wound healingAESCULUS-HIPPOCASTANUM L.PHENOLIC-COMPOUNDSOXIDATIVE STRESSLEAF TISSUESANTIOXIDANTEXPRESSIONQUERCETINEFFICACYINHIBITORAESCINarticleWOS:00046106890001310.1111/jfbc.12758313535461745-4514
