Figure 5
Effect of A. indicum crude extract on muscle glucose consumption. Diaphragms were isolated from fasted Wistar rats and incubated with 300 mg dl−1 of glucose in the absence or presence of crude extract for 90 min. The glucose consumption was expressed as disappeared glucose into diaphragm per 10 mg dry diaphragm. Data are presented as means ± SEM of eight replicates. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA followed by LSD. *P < .05 compared with the untreated group.
