aResults are expressed as means ± S.E.M of seven observations in each group. (% inhibition compared to respective control (without extracts added)).
*Values significantly different (P < 0.05) from the control in each group (before extract ingested). The average of blood glucose level without administration of extracts or glycogen was 157 ± 11 mg/dL. The dose of acarbose was 400 mg/kg.
