Morus alba leaf
Leaves of white mulberry tree used in TCM to clear lung heat and wind-heat conditions, and now studied for blood sugar lowering via DNJ compound.
Mulberry leaf (Morus alba) is a traditional Chinese herb used to clear lung heat and wind-heat conditions, now recognized for its antidiabetic effects primarily through the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ). It also contains flavonoids like quercetin and rutin, contributing to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and is employed for hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and liver-heat related eye symptoms.
The primary antidiabetic mechanism is competitive inhibition of intestinal alpha-glucosidase enzymes by DNJ, delaying carbohydrate digestion and reducing postprandial blood glucose spikes. Quercetin and rutin exert antioxidant effects via scavenging reactive oxygen species and modulating NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways, while chlorogenic acid enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis. GABA may contribute to blood pressure regulation through vasodilation.
