*Group 1 – Normal control; Group 2 – Diabetic control; Group 3 – Skin extract (250 mg/kg b.w.); Group 4 – Skin extract (500 mg/kg b.w.); Group 5 – Seed extract (250 mg/kg b.w.); Group 6 – Seed extract (500 mg/kg b.w.); Group 7 – Glibenclamide (0.6 mg/kg). The results are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 6). Values with different superscripts (a–d) are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05)
