Table 1. Results of angiogenesis observations according to day and concentration.

The results of the calculations in Table 1 are depicted in Figure 6. The number of new blood vessels formed increased from day 2 to day 4 in all groups but was greatest in the 96% snail mucus treatment group (mean, 17.2). Whereas angiogenesis decreased from day 4 to day 7 in the 96% and 48% snail mucus treatment groups, angiogenesis in the 24% snail mucus treatment and control groups increased over these days. The number of new blood vessels formed in the 96% snail mucus treatment group was consistently greater than those in the other treatment groups on each day assessed.
