Aqueous Mulberry Leaf Extract Ameliorates Alcoholic Liver Injury Associating with Upregulation of Ethanol Metabolism and Suppression of Hepatic Lipogenesis

Figure 1

Body weight changes in mice fed with the ethanol diet and ethanol diet supplemented with AME. Mice were randomly divided into five groups (n = 8 for each group), namely, the control group (normal diet), E group (ethanol diet, the positive control), E + 0.5% AME group (ethanol diet containing 0.5% AME), E + 1% AME group (ethanol diet containing 1% AME), and E + 2% AME group (ethanol diet containing 2% AME). Body weight (BW) variation was presented as [(mean BW at week N–mean BW at week 0)/mean BW at week 0] x 100%. (a)  < 0.05 compared to the control group; (b)  < 0.01 compared to the E group.
