Burns occur in everyday life and cause morbidity and mortality due to delayed healing. Many agents were tried to accelerate healing of burns. The aim of this study was to assess for the first time Sadat-Habdan mesenchymal stimulating peptide (SHMSP) known angiogenesis factor in healing of experimentally created burns in rats. ⋯ Sadat-Habdan mesenchymal stimulating peptide has potential of early healing of experimentally produced burns in rats. Healing was effective and better in the study group compared with the control group, in qualitative and quantitative measures.
