Can mulberry leaves really lower blood lipids?
Can mulberry leaves really lower blood lipids?
Hello:
First, consider it from a Western medicine perspective:
Pharmacological studies of modern traditional Chinese medicine have shown that the desmotropic hormone contained in mulberry leaves can promote protein synthesis, exclude cholesterol from the body, and lower blood lipids [1]. However, the amplitude of the mulberry leaves in lowering blood lipids is far less than that of the existing western drugs such as statins and fibrates. Therefore, mulberry leaves cannot be used to replace the western drugs being taken to lower blood lipids. If you want to lower blood lipids by changing your lifestyle, you should follow the Chinese Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Adults, developed by the Joint Committee for the Development of Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Adults in China [2], and control your body weight, be physically active, quit smoking, and limit your alcohol consumption.
Secondly, consider from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine:
In the Expert Consensus on Combined Chinese and Western Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Dyslipidemia issued by the Atherosclerosis and Dyslipidemia Specialized Group of the Cardiovascular Disease Specialized Committee of the Chinese Society of Integrative Medicine [3], it is pointed out that: (1) Phlegm and turbid internal obstruction syndrome: ① Treatment: resolving phlegm and dispelling dampness. ② Prescription: warm gallbladder soup plus subtraction (from the "Secret Essentials of Wai Tai" and "Three Causes of Extreme Disease"). ③ Medicines: Semixia, Bamboo Root, Ginger, Tangerine Peel, Citrus Aurantium, Licorice, etc. (2) Spleen Deficiency and Dampness: ①Treatment: strengthening the spleen and resolving phlegm. ② prescription: stomach ling soup plus reduction (from the "Pu Ji Fang"). ③Administration: Cangzhu, Chenpi, Houpu, licorice, zejiao, poria, red poria, atractylodes, cinnamon, etc. (3) Qi stagnation and blood stasis: ①Treatment: soothe the liver and regulate qi, promote blood circulation. (2) prescription: blood by blood stasis soup plus subtractions (from the "Medical Correction"). (③) Drugs used: chuanxiong, peach kernel, safflower, red peony, chaihu, platycodon, citrus aurantium, hyssop, angelica sinensis, and shengdi. (4) Yin deficiency of the liver and kidney: ①Treatment: tonifying the liver and kidney. ② prescription: consistent decoction combined with Qiju Di Huangwan plus reduction (from the "renewed class case of famous doctors"). (3) Drugs: (Northern) Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix et Rhizoma Gastrodiae, Radix et Rhizoma Ophiopogonis, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Fructus Lycii, Neem Ziziphi, Chrysanthemum, Radix Rehmanniae Miltiorrhizae, Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Rhizoma Ophiopogonis, Fructus Poriae, Rhizoma Alba and others.
Therefore, it can be seen that Chinese medicine to lower blood lipids should also be evidence-based treatment, according to the "king, minister and enabler" use of drugs. Only mulberry leaves a flavor of Chinese medicine, is far from being able to meet the requirements of Chinese medicine to reduce blood lipids.
In summary, mulberry leaves can indeed reduce blood lipids, but the lipid-lowering range is very small. From the western medicine, Chinese medicine two aspects are still far from being able to achieve the existing Chinese and western patent medicine effect of lowering blood lipids.
