Anti-obesity, Overweight, Hypolipidemia, Morus alba, ReviewAbstract
The prevalence of obesity was worldwide increase in the last 60 years. Obesity represented one of the public health problems, it markedly increased the incidence of many diseases: fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart diseases, sleep apnea, osteoporosis, dementia, tumors and many other disorders. Recent reviews showed that many medicinal plants possesses anti-obesity effect. In the current review, PubMed, Web Science, Science Direct, Research gate, Academia.edu and Scopus were searched to verify the hypolipidemic and anti-obesity activities of Morus alba.
