Acarbose	25	11.48 ± 2.19	284.23 ± 11,59
	50	18.89 ± 2.25
	100	30.66 ± 2.19

Each result represents the mean ± standard derivation (n = 3). Data analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. IC₅₀: concentration of the extract necessary to inhibit the activity of the enzyme by 50%. RSE: Rytigynia senegalensis extract.
