Hypoglycemic effects of MB EtOH extracts. In STZ-induced diabetic ICR mouse, EtOH extracts of MB (0.5 or 1 g/kg BW) were orally administered for 22 days. After 10 days of oral administration, fasting blood glucose (FBG) (A) was measured from mouse tail vein. Concentration of plasma glucose (B) was measured after euthanization. Values are presented as the mean ± SE. Means with different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 using Duncan’s multiple range test. NS, not significant; NC, normal control; DC, diabetes control; MBE0.5, mulberry branch EtOH extract 0.5 g/kg BW; MBE1, mulberry branch EtOH extract 1 g/kg BW
