The chromatograms of administration samples.

<p>Aza-sugars in each sample were analyzed using LC-MS/MS.</p

The transition of plasma DNJ concentration.

<p>The rats received orally administered sucrose (2 g/kg B.W.) 15 minutes after each samples administration (equivalent to 5 mg DNJ or miglitol/kg B.W.). Blood was collected from tail venous vein and plasma DNJ or miglitol concentration was determined using LC-MS/MS. Results are given as means ± SE. Means without a common letter differ significantly (p < 0.05).</p

The recovery rate of ¹⁵N from DNJ in urine and feces until 48 hours after sample administration.

<p>The recovery rate of ¹⁵N from DNJ in urine and feces until 48 hours after sample administration. After 12 hours fasting, the rats were received ¹⁵N-labeled DNJ (10 mg). Urine and feces were collected and the amount of ¹⁵N from DNJ was analyzed. (a) The time course of recovery rate of ¹⁵N in urine. (b) Total recovery rate of ¹⁵N in urine and feces. Results are given as means ± SE.</p

The effects in suppressing the blood glucose in rats.

<p>The rats received orally administered sucrose (2 g/kg B.W.) 15 minutes after each samples administration (equivalent to 5 mg DNJ or miglitol/kg B.W.). Blood glucose levels were determined from tail blood sample. (a) is the transition of blood glucose concentration and (b) is area of under curve of blood glucose concentration. Results are given as means ± SE. * p < 0.05 versus control; ** p < 0.01 versus control.</p
