Morus alba fruit diet ameliorates cognitive deficit in mouse model of streptozotocin-induced memory impairment.
This study found that including Morus alba fruit extract in the diets of mice improved memory function. The experiment had two phases: one where the mice were given the fruit extract before memory impairment was induced and another where the extract was given after memory impairment had occurred. Cognitive function was measured using the Morris Water Maze test and brain biochemistry and histopathology were also studied. The results showed that including the fruit extract in the diet prevented and attenuated memory impairment in mice by reducing central cholinergic activity, decreasing oxidative stress, and preventing neurodegeneration.
