Mulberries
Morus
Morus, specifically Morus alba, is a traditional plant with origins in East Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented across various Eastern medicinal practices. Scientifically, Morus alba demonstrates diverse biological activities such as metabolic regulation, anti-inflammatory effects, neuroprotection, and renal function support. While studies indicate that mulberry leaf supplementation can improve glycemic control, the evidence for significant impacts on renal or cardiovascular markers is limited. Additionally, intercropping with specific cultivars of Morus alba has shown to influence cadmium accumulation in maize through rhizosphere regulation. Safety-wise, no major issues have been reported, and there are currently no recorded drug interactions associated with this plant.

Lo que dice la ciencia
- Morus alba muestra diversas actividades biológicas en diferentes partes de la planta, incluyendo efectos sobre el metabolismo, inflamación, neuroprotección y función renal.
- Se identificaron y caracterizaron 41 genes MaBGLU en Morus alba, mostrando variación en propiedades y expresión bajo condiciones de estrés.
- La suplementación con hojas de mora mejoró el control glicémico, pero no tuvo efectos significativos en los marcadores renales o cardíacos en ratas hipertensas自发性高血压。
- La intercosecha con cultivares de Morus alba G62 y G12 afecta diferencialmente la acumulación de cadmio en el maíz a través de la regulación de la rhizosfera.
- Se observaron significativas diferencias en los parámetros de calidad del fruto de la mora, con los cultivares 'ZhongShen' y 'DaShi' mostrando perfiles antioxidantes superiores.
- Se identificaron un total de 410 prophajos en 89 cepas de Xylella fastidiosa, lo que muestra diversidad y potencial de transferencia horizontal de genes.
