Table 3.

Enzyme inhibitory activities of the tested extracts. Values are expressed as mean (n = 3) ± standard deviation. GALAE: Galantamine equivalent; KAE: Kojic acid equivalent; ACAE: Acarbose equivalent; na = not active. Different superscript letters in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05), as determined by Duncan’s post-hoc test.
