Inhibition of α-Glucosidase, Intestinal Glucose Absorption, and Antidiabetic Properties by Caralluma europaea

Figure 5

Effect of AECe on serum glucose level after glucose loading in normal (a) and diabetic mice (b). The mice which fasted for 16 h received AECe (200 mg/kg), glibenclamide (2 mg/kg), or only distillated water (control) and 30 minutes after, glucose was administered (p.o.) at 1 g/kg. Blood samples were collected from the tail tip under anesthesia at 30, 90, 50, and 210 min after glucose loading. (c) in normal mice and (d) in normal mice. Values represent the mean ± SEM (n = 6) are and analyzed with one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t-test. < 0.05 versus control; < 0.01 versus control; and < 0.001 versus control.
