Mulberry leaves are rich in amino acids, fiber, vitamins, minerals and flavonoids and other physiologically active substances, is a good Chinese medicine and health food.
The Chinese Han Dynasty's "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" called mulberry leaves for the "fairy grass", with blood, wind, heat, liver and qi, diuretic effect of lowering blood pressure; can be seen, the ancient medical doctors have recognized the mulberry leaf is a good medicine in addition to the heat to stop sweating.
According to the "Materia Medica Summary" records: "to replace the tea, often served to stop sweating";
According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is clearly documented: "decoction of tea, can quench thirst".
According to the Yuan Dynasty Zhu Danxi in the "Danxi Xinfa" has recorded: "frosted mulberry leaves research powder, rice drink service, stop night sweats." The late Ming and early Qing dynasty famous doctor Fu Qing master especially good at using mulberry leaves to stop sweating, he has formulated "stop sweating Shen Dan", "curb sweating pills", "stop sweating Ding Shen Dan" and so on a number of formula, all with mulberry leaves as the main medicine, reputation mulberry leaves The "Sweat Collection" is a "wonderful product".
Modern medicine has proved that mulberry leaf is a good functional food, it can lower blood pressure, lipid, anti-aging, increase endurance, lower cholesterol, inhibit fat accumulation, inhibit thrombosis, inhibit the propagation of harmful bacteria in the intestine, inhibit the generation of harmful oxides, the most prominent function is to prevent diabetes.
The role of mulberry leaves
According to research, dried mulberry leaves contain 25% to 45% of crude protein, 20% to 25% of carbohydrates, 5% of crude fat, as well as rich in potassium, calcium, and vitamin C, and a variety of trace elements such as copper, zinc, boron, manganese and so on. Mulberry leaves contain ecdysone, lupinone and target aromatic glycosides, mulberry glycosides and other amino acids, vitamins, cestogens, folic acid, folic acid, folic acid, endocannabinoid creatine, phytoestrogens and other substances needed by the human body, with anti-stress, anti-aging, enhancement of muscular endurance, regulation of adrenergic function and other effects.
The 4th national census found that a county in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, longevity is more, one of the main reasons is that here, planted mulberry trees, the local people are accustomed to using mulberry leaves instead of tea to drink, but also year-round eating mulberry. Mulberry leaves contain more folic acid, each gram of mulberry leaves contain 105 micrograms of folic acid. As a pharmaceutical raw material, folic acid is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids, anti-various anemia and promote the growth of the role, and can treat gastric cancer, gastrointestinal pipeline disorders, loss of appetite, malnutrition and sores dermatitis, etc., the significance of human health.
Anti-coagulant effect
Mulberry leaf extract can significantly prolong the whole blood coagulation time in vivo in mice and significantly prolong the plasma activated partial thromboplastin (APTI) time, prothrombin (PT) time and thrombin (TT) time in rabbits. Since the coagulation process initiation link is divided into exogenous and endogenous, APTI reflects the activity of endogenous coagulation pathway, PT reflects the activity of exogenous coagulation pathway, while TT reflects the same pathway of both*** i.e. thrombin activity. It indicates that mulberry leaf has a direct inhibitory effect on thrombin - fibrinogen reaction.
Blood pressure-lowering effect
Rutinoside, quercetin and quercetin in mulberry leaves can increase the contractility and output of isolated and in situ frog heart, and reduce the heart rate. Rutin causes vasoconstriction in the lower limbs of toads and rabbit ears, and quercetin dilates coronary blood vessels and improves myocardial circulation. γ-aminobutyric acid, rutin, and quercetin have blood pressure-lowering effects. γ-Aminobutyric acid is a neurotransmitter that promotes metabolism of brain tissues and restores the function of brain cells, and, at the same time, improves the flow of blood to the brain, enhances angiotensin-converting enzyme Ⅰ activity, and contributes to the decrease of blood pressure.
Lowering blood lipids, lowering cholesterol, anti-thrombosis and anti-atherosclerosis
Mulberry leaves have the effect of inhibiting the formation of fatty liver, lowering serum fat and inhibiting the formation of atherosclerosis. The active ingredients include DNJ, phytosterols, flavonoids and others.
Mulberry leaves contain flavonoid components that strengthen capillaries and reduce blood viscosity, in addition, mulberry leaf tea contains components that oxidize LDL-lipoproteins within the antibody, so mulberry leaves have the effect of preventing myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage while losing weight and improving hyperlipidemia. Japanese experts Doi Yoshiyo confirmed that mulberry leaf extract has inhibitory effect on hyperlipidemia serum lipid elevation and atherosclerosis. Mulberry leaf tea can make hyperlipidemic rats serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), HDL-C/TC significantly increased (p<0.05), total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, triacylglycerol (TG) significantly reduced (p<0.05), lipid peroxide (LPO) significantly reduced (p<0.001), suggesting that Mulberry leaf tea can lower blood lipids, soften the blood vessels, remove peroxides in the body, and inhibit atherogenesis. blood vessels, scavenging peroxides in the body, thus inhibiting the elevation of serum lipids in hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
Hypoglycemic effect
Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine has used mulberry leaf as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of thirst (i.e., diabetes in modern medicine), and the Japanese book "Eating Tea and Nourishing Your Health" has also recorded that mulberry leaf has the effect of improving the "drinking water disease" (i.e., diabetes in modern medicine). Domestic and foreign research data confirm that alkaloids and polysaccharides are the main hypoglycemic components of mulberry leaves.
The hypoglycemic effect of mulberry leaf is realized through two ways: one is through the alkaloid DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin) on disaccharide catabolism enzyme activity inhibition, thereby inhibiting the absorption of disaccharides in the small intestine to reduce the peak value of blood glucose after eating; the second is through the mulberry leaf alkaloid fagomine and the mulberry leaf polysaccharide to promote β-cells must be divided into insulin, which can promote cellular sugar utilization, liver glycogen synthesis. Sugar utilization, hepatic glycogen synthesis and improve glucose metabolism, and ultimately achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar.
Polyhydroxydesmethylscopolamine isolated from Morus alba has strong glycosidase inhibition; N-Me-DNJ, GAL-DNJ and fagomine can significantly reduce blood glucose levels, of which GAL-DNJ and fagomine have the strongest hypoglycemic effect.
Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
Mulberry leaf juice has a good inhibitory effect on the growth of most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and some yeasts. Moreover, the required antibacterial concentration is low, the pH range is wide (4~9), and the heat stability is strong. The rutinosides in mulberry significantly inhibited traumatic edema in rats and prevented the development of conjunctivitis, otolaryngitis, and pulmonary edema. The strong anti-inflammatory effect of mulberry leaves is consistent with the efficacy of expelling wind and clearing heat.
Antiviral and antitumor effects
Mulberry leaves can prevent cancer cell production and improve human immunity, the main functional components are DNJ, flavonoids, sanguinarine, γ-aminobutyric acid and vitamins, which can inhibit chromosomal mutations and gene mutations.DNJ has a significant antiretroviral activity. Its IG30 was 1.2~2.5 μg/mL, and the inhibitory power was enhanced with the increase of DNJ dose.The inhibitory rate of DNJ on tumor metastasis was 80.5%, and its inhibitory mechanism may be that DNI produces immature carbohydrate chains on the surface of tumor cells by inhibiting the activity of glycosidase, which weakened the metastatic ability of the tumor.
Two flavonoids, quercetin-3-β-D-glucopyranoside and quercetin-3-7-dioxo-β-D-glucopyranoside, isolated and purified from mulberry leaves, showed significant inhibitory effects on the growth of human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Sanshin in mulberry leaves has anticancer activity and vitamins in mulberry leaves have mutagenic inhibitory effects.
Anti-aging and anti-fatigue effects
The Institute of Clinical Pharmacology of Zhejiang University, through 4 years of experiments, has confirmed that mulberry leaves have a tonic and anti-aging effect similar to that of ginseng. Ginseng is a hot tonic, while mulberry leaf is a clear tonic, no contraindications, young and old can be used, and all seasons are suitable.
In addition, quercetin, phenolic compounds, vitamin C and other components contained in mulberry leaves can prevent oxidative damage by inhibiting or removing free radicals. Mulberry leaf has similar ginseng tonic and anti-aging, stabilizing the function of the nervous system, can relieve emotional excitement caused by physiological changes, improve the activity of superoxide dismutase in the body, prevent the production of harmful substances in the body, reduce or eliminate the lipofuscin that has been produced and accumulated in the body. Mulberry leaves can improve the tolerance of mice to high temperature stimulation and prevent the adrenal cortex distribution function from being low due to stress stimulation, and when the adrenal function is low, mulberry leaves can restore it to normal. Mulberry leaves can prolong the time of swimming and baton twirling in mice, and have the effect of enhancing the endurance of the organism, and can prolong the life span of Drosophila. It can effectively remove the superoxide anion produced by biological oxidation, and has the effect of delaying aging.
Anti-filariasis effect
Monofloral mulberry leaf injection has anti-filariasis effect, mulberry leaves can be used for the treatment of filarial elephantiasis and celiac disease, and its mechanism of action may be the result of a combination of the anti-inflammatory, decongestive, tissue-softening, and antimicrobial effects of rutinoside, quercetin, isoquercetin, coumarin, and clorigenic acid, which are contained in the mulberry leaves.
Antispasmodic, anti-ulcer effect
Quercetin in mulberry leaves can reduce intestinal and bronchial smooth muscle tone, its antispasmodic effect is stronger than rue glucoside, rue glucoside can reduce gastric motility in rats, and can relieve barium chloride-induced spasm of small intestinal smooth muscle, subcutaneous injection of rue glucoside 5-10mg/kg can significantly reduce the number of foci of gastric ulcer induced by ligation of the pylorus in rats.
Improvement of intestinal function, laxative and weight loss
DNJ minerals and unabsorbed sugars in the small intestine into the large intestine by the role of intestinal flora caused by fermentation, the production of butyric acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid and other organic acids, so that the intestinal environment becomes acidic, intestinal contents of acidity increases, can inhibit the proliferation of harmful bacteria, to play a role in regulating the intestinal tract, to improve constipation, and to improve the role of the abdomen.
