Hepatoprotective effect of mulberry water extracts on ethanol-induced liver injury via anti-inflammation and inhibition of lipogenesis in C57BL/6J mice.

TLDR
Results suggested that MWE prevents alcohol-induced liver injury through the activation of the AMPK and PPAR-α signal, mediated by multiple pathways, including reduced lipid accumulation and lipid synthesis, increased fatty acid transport and fatty acid oxidation responses, decreased oxidative stress and facilitated anti- inflammation.

The Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Fruit—A Review of Characteristic Components and Health Benefits

TL;DR: Recent findings regarding the chemical constituents and biological activities of mulberry fruit are provided, which may be useful for stimulating deep research of mulberries and for predicting their uses as important and safe contributors to benefit human health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flavan‐3‐ols, anthocyanins, and inflammation

TL;DR: In vitro studies performed with parental compounds at doses exceeding to those found in vivo may be drawing erroneous conclusions about their real efficacy, and future research should be focused on the understanding of dose/flavonoid intake–response relationship with pharmacokinetic studies, evaluating proper biomarkers of intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precooling and ozone treatments affects postharvest quality of black mulberry (Morus nigra) fruits.

TL;DR: From the analysis of cell ultrastructure and cell wall components of fruit, ozone and precooling treatments also induced shrinkage of the stomata in the epidermis, inhibited bacteria invasion, reduced water transpiration, and delayed the decomposition of the cell walls and the degradation of epidermal tissues.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Catalase in vitro

Hugo Aebi
TL;DR: In this article, the catalytic activity of catalase has been investigated using ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry and Titrimetric methods, which is suitable for comparative studies for large series of measurements.

Microsomal lipid peroxidation.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses microsomal lipid peroxidation, a complex process known to occur in both plants and animals that involves the formation and propagation of lipid radicals, the uptake of oxygen, a rearrangement of the double bonds in unsaturated lipids, and the eventual destruction of membrane lipids.

Involvement of the Superoxide Anion Radical in the Autoxidation of Pyrogallol and a Convenient Assay for Superoxide Dismutase

TL;DR: The autoxidation of pyrogallol was investigated in the presence of EDTA in the pH range 7.9–10.6, indicating an almost total dependence on the participation of the superoxide anion radical, O2·−, in the reaction.

The determination of flavonoid contents in mulberry and their scavenging effects on superoxide radicals

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that mulberry leaves contain at least four flavonoids, two of which are rutin and quercetin, and that the scavenging effects of most mulberry extracts were greater than those of rutins (52.0%) at a concentration of 5μg ml −1.
