Figure 6

Effects of ethanol extract of C. asiatica (CA) on intestinal glucose absorption in type 2 diabetic rats. Rats were fasted for 36 h and the intestine was perfused with glucose (54 g/l) with (treated group) or without (control group) ethanol extract of C. asiatica (5 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, and 20 mg/ml; each subject received 15 ml of perfusion). Values are means and standard deviations represented by vertical bars (n = 9). Mean values marked with an asterisk (*) were significantly different from those of respective control rats (p < 0.05) (derived from repeated-measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
