| 32.845 | 61.96 ± 0.003*** | 7.744 | 88.42 ± 0.003 |
| 65.690 | 73.01 ± 0.002*** | 15.489 | 98.95 ± 0.002 |
Values expressed as percentage inhibition mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis, ***p < 0.001 compares the percentage inhibition of carveol group vs. the acarbose group.
