Discussion
The major findings of the present work are that the daily
supplementation with MA decreased the blood glucose,
normalized blood pressure, and restored the vascular
response to vasoactive agents, both the vasodilator and
vasoconstrictor, in STZ-induced chronic diabetic rats. The
maintaining of normal blood glucose levels through nutritional support is vital for those who are trying to manage
their blood glucose levels primarily through diet and
exercise. The mulberry leaf extract contains multiple
constituents fulfilling its potential for several usefulness
[14,24]. Our findings support the daily supplement with MA
or daily consumption of mulberry leaf tea as promising
dietary approach to control blood glucose level and
eventually alleviate the complications in diabetic patients.
