The area under the blood glucose curve for the oral sucrose and starch tolerance tests in rats gavaged with acarbose or composed mixtures.

Group	SuTT–AUC (mmol/L × 180 min)	StTT–AUC (mmol/L × 180 min)
Control	1351 ± 11.7 a	1174 ± 16.5 a
Acarbose	1097 ± 14.2 c	966 ± 14.7 c
Mix1	1181 ± 16.8 b	1073 ± 12.4 b
Mix2	1177 ± 12.4 b	1084 ± 16.1 b
Mix3	1202 ± 17.2 b	1063 ± 17.1 b
ANOVA p-value	<0.001	<0.001

Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 12). AUC, area under the blood glucose curve; BW, body weight; SuTT, sucrose tolerance test; StTT, starch tolerance test. Mean values within a column with differing superscript letters (^{a, b, c}) are significantly different at p < 0.05 in a post hoc test. Composition and doses (mg/kg BW): Mix1—mulberry leaf extract (120 mg) + kidney bean extract (100 mg) + coffee bean extract (20 mg); Mix2—mulberry leaf extract (120 mg) + coffee bean extract (20 mg) + arabinose (25 mg); Mix3—mulberry leaf extract (120 mg) + kidney bean extract (100 mg) + coffee bean extract (20 mg) + arabinose (25 mg).
