Statistical analysis of the differences in blood glucose levels between the control, acarbose, and algal-treated rats
| Treated rats (I) | Treated rats (J) | Blood glucose level (mg/dL) mean±SEM | P value | 95% Confidence interval | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower bound | Upper bound | ||||
| Control | Acarbose | 192.97±59.57 | 0.007 | 47.15 | 338.78 |
| S. trinodis (80% MeOH) | Acarbose | 43.48±56.65 | 0.783 | -95.18 | 182.14 |
| S. trinodis (80% MeOH) | Control | -149.48±58.27 | 0.037 | -291.66 | -7.31 |
| Acarbose | Control | -192.97±59.57 | 0.007 | -338.30 | -47.63 |
Data were calculated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post-hoc Dunnett’s test (dependent variable: time point at 60 min). Blood glucose levels are expressed as mean±SEM.
