Serum levels of amylase activity in normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats during extended treatment with Bauhinia forficata. U = amount of enzyme that completely hydrolyses 10 mg of starch in 30 min at 37°C. □ normal-control; ■ diabetic-control; △ normal-treated; ▲ diabetic-treated. All values are means ± standard error (n = 10). A two-way ANOVA and the Newman-Keuls test was used for comparisons over time within groups (p < 0.05) – different from before start of treatment (day zero) with Bauhinia forficata decoction. Groups: (a) normal-control; (b) normal-treated; (c) normal-control; (d) normal-treated; (e) diabetic-treated.
