BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and the prevalence has increased significantly in recent decades to epidemic proportions in China. Individually, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) seed, mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) root can improve glycemia in various animal models and humans with impair...

The experiment was conducted to find out the impact of levels drip irrigation and mulching on growth, yield quality parameters mulberry. Among different 0.8 CPE recorded higher values for growth leaf (47613 kg ha-1 year-1) parameters. Compared lower 0.5, 0.6 0.7 CPE. Also, mulberry plants mulched with black plastic polythene cover (45143 compared without mulching. interaction effect along (T8) ...

In 1903, Orton described a disease of the mulberry characterized by the " peculiarly enlarged portions of the aggregated fruit/ ' The disease was said to occur in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Dr. M. B. Waite, Pathologist in Charge, Office of Fruit Disease Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry, states that specimens of mulberry fruits showing this condition have been received from vario...

A digestibility study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing mulberry foliage and urea rice-bran as a source of fermentable energy and protein to 12 sheep fed diets based on urea-treated rice straw (TRS). The three dietary treatments were: T1, TRS with mulberry; T2, TRS with 50% mulberry replaced with rice bran and urea; and T3, TRS with rice bran and urea. The study was arrange...

Postprandial hypoglycemic effect of mulberry leaf (Morus alba L.) was compared in two animal models: Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a spontaneous non-obese animal model for type II diabetes, and their counterpart control Wistar rats. First, the effect of a single oral administration of mulberry leaf aqueous extract (MLE) on postprandial glucose responses was determined using maltose or glucose as sub...

BACKGROUND In vitro studies suggest that extracts of black, green, and mulberry teas could interfere with carbohydrate and triacylglycerol absorption via their ability to inhibit alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, sodium-glucose transporters, and pancreatic lipase. OBJECTIVE We measured breath hydrogen and 13CO2 to investigate the ability of an extract of black, green, and mulberry tea leaves ...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Mulberry leaves contain quercetin derivatives, which have the effects of reducing obesity and improving lipid and glucose metabolism in mice with obesity. It is not clear whether or not mulberry leaves can directly affect metabolic disorders, in the presence of obesity, because of the interaction between obesity and metabolic disorders. The aim of the current study was to ...

BACKGROUND Worldwide sugar consumption has tripled during the last fifty years. High sugar intake is associated with weight gain and increased incidence of diabetes and has been linked with increased cardiovascular mortality. Reducing the health impact of dietary sugar and poor quality carbohydrate intake is a public health priority. IminoNorm®, a proprietary mulberry leaf extract (ME), may red...

An endophytic fungus, Fusarium solani strain JS-169, isolated from a mulberry twig, showed considerable antifungal activity. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain. The assembly comprises 17 scaffolds, with an N50 value of 4.93 Mb. The assembled genome was 45,813,297 bp in length, with a G+C content of 49.91%.
