Values represent means ± SD (n = 8 for each group). Control groups (Cont) and diabetic control (Diab). Diab+ EAEx: diabetic rats treated with EAEx of Anthyllis henoniana at 400 mg/kg bw per day for 28 days; Diab+Acar: diabetic rats treated with acarbose at dose of 12 mg/kg bw per day for 28 days. The values are means ±SD (n=8 for each group).
