Comparison of the Effects of Acarbose and TZQ-F, a New Kind of Traditional Chinese Medicine to Treat Diabetes, Chinese Healthy Volunteers

Figure 3

Mean change in 𝐶_max of glucose/C-peptide/IRI after dinner from first day (no drug administration) to second day (drug administration). Reduction in 𝐶_max of plasma glucose was significant in acarbose and TZQ 3 and TZQ 4 groups (^∗𝑃<0.05 versus placebo; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus before treatment). Reduction in 𝐶_max of plasma C-peptide was significant in acarbose and TZQ 3 groups (^∗𝑃<0.05 versus placebo; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus before treatment). Elevation of 𝐶_max of plasma C-peptide was significant in TZQ 2 group (^#𝑃<0.05 versus before treatment).
