The rats were divided into 9 groups (5 mice in each group), one of which was the negative control group.as for the rest of the eight groups, 2% of cholesterol was added for a period of 15 days, one of these groups as a positive control group, the other groups were fed on mulberry leaves 2.5 - 5-7.5%, and groups also fed berries with a ratio of 2.5 - 5 - 7.5%. of mulberry leavesand the last group, a blood lipid-lowering drug was added, and the trial lasted for two months, and was estimated B.W.G% &FER, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density, very-low-density cholesterol, glucose, kidney and liver functions.
The results showed a remarkable decrease in kidney and liver functions, low total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, a rise in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and a significant decrease in blood glucose levels, especially in groups that fed mulberry leaves and fruits at a concentration of 7.5%
