Figure 2

Mean change in 𝐶_max of glucose/C-peptide/IRI after breakfast from first day (no drug administration) to second day (drug administration). Reduction in plasma C-peptide and IRI was significant in acarbose group (^∗𝑃<0.05 versus placebo; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus before treatment). Elevation of 𝐶_max of plasma IRI was significant in TZQ 4 group (^#𝑃<0.05 versus before treatment). Elevation of 𝐶_max of plasma C-peptide was significant in TZQ 2 and placebo groups (^#𝑃<0.05 versus before treatment).
