Inhibition of glucose uptake of B. frutescens leaves extracts after 24, 48, and 72 h of incubation. MCF-7 (left panels) or MCF10A (right panels) cells were treated with either (a) B90, (b) B70, or (c) B50 extract at three different concentrations: lower than IC₅₀ value (low), IC₅₀ value (IC50), and higher than IC₅₀ value (high) for 24, 48, and 72 h. WZB117 served as positive control whilst DMSO is the vehicle control (control). Data is expressed as mean ± standard error mean based on four independent experiments with triplicate wells for each concentration. p< 0.01, compared with the untreated control (control); # p< 0.01, compared with the positive control (WZB117).
