Enzymatic activity at 1000 μg/mL. Activity values are expressed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Values are expressed as IC50 ± SD (n = 3) in μg/mL. -, Not determined. Values in the same column/group followed by different superscript, lower-case letters are significantly different by the ANOVA test (p < 0.05). Acarbose was used as the positive control.
