Effects of ethanol extract of C. asiatica (CA) on gastrointestinal sucrose content after oral sucrose loading in type 2 diabetic rats. Rats were fasted for 20 h before the oral administration of a sucrose solution (2.5 g/kg body weight) with (treated group) or without (control group) ethanol extract of C. asiatica (250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 1000 mg/kg body weight). Values are means and standard deviations represented by vertical bars (n = 8). Mean values marked with an asterisk (*) were significantly different from those of control rats (p < 0.05) (derived from repeated-measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
