Area under the curve (AUC) of postprandial glucose responses of normoglycemic rats in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), oral sucrose tolerance test (OSucTT) and oral starch tolerance test (OSTT).
| Group 1 | AUC (mmol·min/L) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| OGTT | OSucTT | OSTT | |
| NC | 851.7 ± 59.5 b | 855.0 ± 58.8 c | 840.6 ± 55.5 c |
| Acarbose | 816.0 ± 60.2 ab | 668.7 ± 58.9 a | 623.7 ± 45.8 a |
| Phloridzin | 798.3 ± 75.6 ab | 676.2 ± 63.9 a | 685.5 ± 62.0 ab |
| AE 500 | 756.3 ± 62.3 a | 737.4 ± 58.0 b | 756.6 ± 58.6 bc |

1 NC (10 mL/kg of distilled water), acarbose (10 mg/kg), phloridzin (200 mg/kg), and AE (500 mg/kg). Treatments were co-administered orally and respectively with glucose (2 g/kg), sucrose (4 g/kg), and starch (3 g/kg) in OGTT, OSucTT and OSTT tests. Data is expressed as means ± S.E.M. of six rats. Means with different letters of the alphabet within a column are significantly different at p < 0.05, as analyzed using Tukey HSD (honest significant difference) as a post hoc test.
