|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (h) | 0.5 (h) | 1 (h) | 2 (h) | |
| NC | 91.73 ± .60 | 194.40 ± 10.62 | 161.00 ± 8.62 | 134.00 ± 3.89 |
| RA 100 (mg/kg) | 93.87 ± 1.29 | 173.84 ± 23.21 | 151.80 ± 20.85 | 110.80 ± 13.87 |
| RA 200 (mg/kg) | 90.42 ± 1.58 | 152.97 ± 10.49 | 124.41 ± 5.33 | 93.53 ± 7.65a1 |
| RA 400 (mg/kg) | 91.64 ± 1.58 | 146.00 ± 1.29 | 108.64 ± 10.34a1 | 92.86 ± 9.15a1 |

Results are expressed in mean ± SEM; n = 6,a compared to the negative control,b compared to 100 mg/kg,c compared to 200 mg/kg,d compared to 400 mg/kg. 1p < 0.05, 2p < 0.01, and 3p < 0.001, NC = negative control (received 10 ml/kg distilled water), RA = Rumex abyssinicus, GLC = Glibenclamide, SEM = standard error of mean.
