Inhibition of α-Amylases by Condensed and Hydrolysable Tannins: Focus on Kinetics and Hypoglycemic Actions

Figure 7

Areas between the glycemic curves after starch administration (starch alone or starch + α-amylase inhibitors) and the glycemic basal levels. The areas were determined with the corresponding data in Figures 6(a) and 6(b) using the numerical integration procedures of the Scientist Software from MicroMath Scientific Software (Salt Lake City, UT). The error terms correspond to standard errors of the means. Asterisks indicate statistical difference relative to the control experiment according to ANOVA followed by post hoc Student-Newman-Keuls testing ().
