Inhibitory activities of various fractions of F. indica on α-amylase. The values are presented as mean ± SD of triplicates. Data was analyzed by one way ANOVA that is followed by Tukey’s Multiple Comparison Test. Statistical significant (*a P<0.05 and ***c P<0.001) results when n-hexane and n-butanol fractions respectively were compared with standard. Non-significant (P>0.05) results when chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions were compared with standard.
The effect of standard acarbose and chloroform fractions of F.indica on postprandial BGL in normal rats (A) and diabetic rats (B) by oral starch tolerance test. The data is expressed as mean ± SD (n=6). Significant (P<.05) reduction in BGL at 0.5 h by comparing chloroform fraction 500 mg/kg with that of control.
