Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of arenin on HDFa cell migration under high glucose (HG) and serum-deprived (FBS–) conditions. Scratch wound healing assays were performed in monolayers treated with arenin (31.25–1000 µg mL −1 ), Centella asiatica extract (CA, 10 µg mL −1 ), or left untreated (C–). A , C Time course of wound retraction (%) under FBS– and HG conditions at 24, 48, and 72 h. B , D Wound closure (%) after 72 h in FBS– and HG conditions. E Phase contrast micrographs at 0 and 72 h under FBS– (upper) and HG (lower) conditions show C–, CA, and arenin treatments. Dashed lines separate controls from arenin. Complete closure is observed in arenin- and CA-treated cultures, while sizeable gaps persist in C–. Bars/data points = mean ± SD ( n = 3). One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test; groups sharing the same lowercase letter are not significantly different ( p > 0.05). Scale bars = 200 µm
