Effects of S. polyanthum’s active extract, fraction, and subfraction on the blood glucose levels of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after being treated orally twice daily for twelve days. NC, normal control (normal saline, 10 mL/kg); DC, diabetic control (normal saline, 10 mL/kg); M, metformin (500 mg/kg); ME, methanolic extract (1 g/kg); CF, chloroform fraction (500 mg/kg); SF-1, n-hexane fraction (250 mg/kg); SQ, squalene (160 mg/kg). The values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). # indicates significant differences as compared to the DC (###
p < 0.001). * indicates significant differences compared to the NC (*** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, and * p < 0.05) as analyzed using Dunnett’s as post hoc test.
