Each value represents as mean ± SEM; n = 6 for each treatment, acompared to the negative control, bcompared to 100 mg/kg, and βcompared to baseline blood glucose level. 1p < 0.05, 2p < 0.01, and 3p < 0.001. NC = negative control and received 2% tween 80 indistilled water, GLC = glibenclamide, CE = crude extract.
