The IC50 values of GTE, GTP, EGCG alone and their combination with acarbose on inhibiting α-glucosidase activity.
Components | IC50 (μg/mL) | |
---|---|---|
Single | Combined | |
GTE | 4.421 ± 0.018 * | 2.104 ± 0.007 * |
GTP | 10.019 ± 0.017 * | 3.999 ± 0.006 * |
EGCG | 5.272 ± 0.009 * | 2.083 ± 0.004 * |
Acarbose | 4,822.783 ± 26.042 | 2,291.587 ± 13.014 *† (GTE) |
1,925.614 ± 9.875 *† (GTP) | ||
1,906.454 ± 6.892 *† (EGCG) |
* Indicates significant difference (p < 0.05) from the positive control of acarbose alone. † indicates IC50 of acarbose independent of other components (GTE, GTP, and EGCG respectively) in combined study. IC50: half maximal inhibitory concentration.
