Values represent mean ± SEM (n = 6).
*Values for a given group in a row followed by same letter as superscript are not significantly different according to Tukey's multiple comparison procedure (at P < 0.05).
Values given in parenthesis are percent blood glucose reduction from the 0 h value in the respective column
