Research progress on bioactive component groups and their action mechanisms of Mori Folium for prevention and treatment of diabetes / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Mori Folium (mulberry leaves or the leaves of Morus alba) as one of Chinese materia medica and food raw materials, its research and application in the treatment of diabetes and diabetic complications have become an increasing concern to the majority of scientists. With deepening the basic research and industrial development of Mori Folium, the bioactive component groups and their action mechanisms of Mori Folium used for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and diabetic complication continue to be revealed. In this paper, based on the previous research, we summarize and analyze the understanding of domestic and foreign scholars about the pathogenesis of diabetes and the active component groups and their action mechanisms of Mori Folium for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and diabetic complication in recent years in order to provide the guidance for the further study and the reference for the development and utilization of Mori Folium resource.
