  1. Values represent mean ± SEM (n = 6).
  2. *Values for a given group in a row followed by same letter as superscript are not significantly different according to Tukey's multiple comparison procedure (at P < 0.05).
  3. Values given in parenthesis are percent blood glucose reduction from the 0 h value in the respective column
