The whole animals were exposed to burn by application of flame by metal probe  on the dorsum of animals after shaving the area. Group A were left 5weeks without treatment, Group B treated by sesame oil along 5 weeks to compare the efficacy of this oil for improving the healing  of burn in comparison with control without treatment.
