NDC: nondiabetic control group treated with vehicle; DC: diabetic control group treated with vehicle; GLIB: group treated with glibenclamide, 10 mg/kg; AE: group treated with aqueous extract, 100 mg/kg; EE: group treated with ethanol extract, 100 mg/kg; ME: group treated with methanol extract, 100 mg/kg. The values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5–7). Statistically significant vs. NDC: ; .
