In this study, American and South Korean researchers isolated cannabinoid (CB1) receptor antagonists that can suppress the appetite from Morus alba. Their findings regarding the compounds’ anti-obesity effects were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that white mulberry extracts rich in Kuwanon G and Albanin G can be used to control appetite, manage body weight and treat the metabolic syndrome in obese subjects.
