Abstract
Aloe vera at doses of Inn and 300 mg/kg daily for 4 days blocked the w ound heating suppression of hydrocortisone acetate up to 100% using th e wound tensile strength assay. This response was because of the growt h factors present in A. vera masking the wound healing inhibitors such as sterols and certain amino acids. The sterols showed good anti-infl ammatory activity (-36%) in reducing the croton oil-induced ear swelli ng. This activity displayed a dose-response relationship.
