Each extract was tested at a final concentration of 100 μg/mL, and results are presented as mean ± SD from triplicate experiments.
Differences between each extract (n = 181) and the control were assessed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.
Acarbose was used as the positive control, and the top five extracts with the highest activity.
Adjusted p-values are reported; statistical significance is denoted as
p < 0.05,
p < 0.01,
p < 0.001, and
p < 0.0001.
