Glucose uptake by C2C12 muscle (a) and 3T3-L1 adipose cells (b) following 3 h treatment with extracts of A. karroo. Insulin at 3000 mIU/ml was used as a positive control. Untreated cells and DMSO were used as standard controls. NDAK = Non-defatted extract of A. karroo, DAK = Defatted extract of A. karroo. The results are presented as ± SEM from triplicate of three independent experiments. The statistical significance of the results was tested using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) employing the Turkey-Kramer multiple comparison test between the control and different groups and between groups. The results were considered significant at (*) P < 0.05, (**) P < 0.01 and (***) P < 0.001
