Table 2. Effect of F. elephantum aqueous extract (FE) on serum glucose levels (mg/dL) in alloxan induced diabetic rats.

Day of study	Serum glucose levels (mg/dL)±SEM
Day of study	DA control	DA₊FE (400)	DA₊FE (800)
Day 2 (baseline)	327.65±13.41	390.92±48.76	408.32±25.57
Day 9	349.15±13.67	347.13±42.43	353.86±27.83

TA- Thioacetamide, DA - Alloxan treated diabetic, FE - Aqueous extract of F. elephantum. Data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by “Bonferroni posttests”. Rats were given treatment of alloxan (160 mg/kg, i.p.) and after 48 h later serum glucose levels were measured and taken as baseline values. FE treatment was given from day 2 to day 9 of study (7 day treatment).
