Abstract:Hyperglycemia is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, partially due to increases in oxidative stress. Phenolics in mulberry leaves (MLP) may protect tissues from hyperglycemia‐induced oxidative damage. We examined the effect of MLP on hyperglycemia‐induced oxidative damage in hepatic HepG2 cells. HepG2 were treated with glucose (5.5 or 50 mM) with or without MLP at 10 or 100 μM GAE. Hyperglycemia‐induced oxidative damage in HepG2 was demonstrated by a 666% increase in O2.− production at 0.5 h, 40… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
