Water extracts 2.00±0.14a1) 2.86±0.27a 9.71±0.11b 23.81±0.84c
Ethanol extracts 6.67±0.12a 48.57±1.05b 76.00±2.12c 88.57±0.97d
Acarbose 17.42±2.31a 20.33±1.72b 26.64±1.92c 40.03±2.31d
Mean±SD (n=6), means with different superscript letters within level are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan's multiple range tests. Acarbose was used for control.
