Miconia sp. Increases mRNA Levels of PPAR Gamma and Inhibits Alpha Amylase and Alpha Glucosidase

Table 1

Enzymatic inhibition from acarbose and Miconia sp. extract.

Treatment	-Amylase; (IC50  ±  DE g/mL)	-Glucosidase; (IC50  ±  DE μg/mL)
Miconia	28.23 ± 2.15	1.95 ± 0.15
Acarbose (positive control)	993.84 ± 157.13	331.00 ± 72.08
Phosphate buffer with 1% ethanol (negative control)	NI	NI

Data are expressed as mean ± the SD (). NI: no inhibition. ⁢ significant difference with acarbose.
