Comparative Antidiabetic Activity of Aqueous, Ethanol, and Methanol Leaf Extracts of <i>Persea americana</i> and Their Effectiveness in Type 2 Diabetic Rats

<div>Effect of <i>P. americana</i> leaf extracts on body mass gain (a), water (b), and food intake (c) of type 2 diabetic rats. NDC: nondiabetic control treated with vehicle; DC: diabetic control treated with vehicle; GLIB: group treated with glibenclamide, 10 mg/kg; AE: rats treated with aqueous extract, 100 mg/kg; EE: rats treated with ethanol extract, 100 mg/kg; ME: rats treated with methanol extract, 100 mg/kg. The values are expressed as mean ± SEM (<i>n</i> = 5–7). (a) Significantly different vs. DC; (b) Significantly different vs. GLIB; (c) Significantly different vs. DC and GLIB.</div>
