Values are expressed in mean ± standard error. DC, diabetic control that receives 10 ml/kg normal saline; NC, normal control that receives 10 ml/kg normal saline; VR100, treatment group that receives V. radiata extract of 100 mg/kg; VR200, treatment group that receives V. radiata extract of 200 mg/kg; VR400, treatment group that receives V. radiata extract of 400 mg/kg; DS, positive control that receives glibenclamide (5 mg/kg); ^a compared to DC, ⁿ compared to NC, and ^β compared to baseline BGL.¹ < 0.05,² < 0.01,³ < 0.001; BGL, blood glucose level.
