The normal mice were divided into five groups and each group contained six animals. The control group was fed with distilled water. Other groups were fed orally with three different doses of aqueous ethanol extract of Moringa stenopetala leaves (250, 500 and 750 mg/kg). For the last group, acarbose (3 mg/kg) was used as a positive control. All treatments were administered to the mice 5 min before loading sucrose (3 g/kg). Blood samples were collected from a tail vein at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 180 min. The blood glucose levels were determined by glucose oxidase method.
