Blood glucose concentrations (mmol/L) of different tested treatments on spontaneous pre-diabetic mutant BKS-Leprdb mice for 4 weeks period of treatments. a The animals treated with plant extract, β-sitosterol compound and non-treated animals showed no significant reduction of blood glucose levels (mmol/L) after ip-glucose solution administration evaluated at 30, 60, 90, and 120 mins for 4 weeks of treatment. b Demonstration of the area under the curve (AUC) after 4 weeks of treatment, *** p ≤ 0.05, significant difference of animals treated with positive control when compared with the plant extract, β-sitosterol compound and non-treated animals
