Summary
Mulberry leaves fed to rats accelerated the growth of immature rats and significantly increased their body weight. In immature noncastrated rats they increased the seminal vesicle weights to a great extent. Moreover mulberry leaves fed to experimentally hyperglycemie rats, lowered the blood sugar. It seems possible therefore that Morus alba leaves are of. growth–hormone like, testosterone–like, and insulin like activities.
Zusammenfassung
Die Resultate, die bei der Verfütterung von Morus alba–Blättern an Ratten erhalten wurden, deuten darauf hin, daß diese Blätter möglicherweise Aktivitäten entwickeln, die den Wirkungen von Wachstumshormonen, von Testosteron und von Insulin ähnlich sind.
