(SG) concentration of glucose; (SIN) insulin; HC: healthy control; DC: diabetic control; DCV: diabetic control vehicle; CME 150: crude methanolic extract at a concentration of 150 mg/kg; CME 75: crude methanolic extract at a concentration of 75 mg/kg; CME 35: crude methanolic extract at a concentration of 35 mg/kg; FME 150: fractional methanolic extract at a concentration of 150 mg/kg; FME 75: fractional methanolic extract at a concentration of 75 mg/kg; FME 35: fractional methanolic extract at a concentration of 35 mg/kg. For the corresponding mean ± SD, ^###P < 0.001 compared to the healthy control and ^∗∗∗P < 0.01 compared to the diabetic control.
