Mulberry, the fruit of Morus alba, is commonly used in Chinese medicines because of its many pharmacologic effects. Mulberry leaves contain many phenolic antioxidants that can reduce cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis involves proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC).

Acetaminophen (APAP) induced inflammation and oxidative stress can cause cell death to induce liver damage. The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effect of Mulberry (Morus australis) leaf extract (MLE) was shown in previous studies. In this study, we investigated the modulation of MLE on APAP

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and its uptake by machrophage are the hallmark in atherogenesis. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the antiatherogenic effect of mulberry leaf extracts (MLE) and the polyphenolic extracts (MLPE), which contained polyphenols including quercetin
