Table 4. Effects of long-term treatment of P. suberosa on fasting blood glucose levels in mice.

Values are expressed as the means ± SEM (n = 9). The control group received distilled water, and the treatment group received 50 mg/kg of the extract. The mice were treated for 30 days.

Treatment	Pre-treatment		Post-treatment
		1 h	3 h	5 h

Control	84.35 ± 2.36	83.34 ± 2.49	78.27 ± 2.19	75.24 ± 3.72
ALE	86.34 ± 4.26	69.01 ± 3.08*	63.87 ± 2.47*	55.24 ± 3.85*
