Mulberries are sweet in taste and are believed to have a wealth of health benefits, including reducing cholesterol, improved blood sugar levels, and lowers the risk of cancer.

A new study now suggests that rutin, a compound found in mulberries may help treat obesity. It could also boost the metabolism which can aid in weight loss.

Obesity has become a significant health concern in the United States, putting people at risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, and certain cancers.

For the study, the team added rutin to drinking water of two groups of mice. One group of mice was genetically obese, and the other group had diet-induced obesity. Both groups of mice were fed a regular diet throughout the duration of the study. In both the groups of mice, rutin was found to activate which led to increased energy expenditure, better glucose homeostasis, and fat reduction.

"The beneficial effects of rutin on brown adipose tissue (BAT)-mediated metabolic improvement have evoked a substantial interest in the potential treatment for obesity and its related diseases, such as diabetes. In line with this idea, discovery of more safe and effective BAT activators is desired to deal with obesity and its related diseases." said, Wan-Zhu Jin, Ph.D.
