초록
Morus alba has been well known for its tonic effect or preventing of hypertension, aging, or diabetes mellitus in Asian countries. To evaluate the its effect on hair growth promotion, we performed the hair regrowth experiment with leaf, branch, root and fruit extract of Morus alba on animal model of C57BL/6 mouse. The hair regrowth effect was remarkable in the mouse treated branch and root extract (with what %), however, little effect on hair regrowth appeared on the mouse treated with leaf extract. Morus alba extract displayed antibacterial effects on Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas and Candida albicans. These results indicated that branch and root extract of Morus alba could be applicable for hair regrowth or prevention of hair loss in human.
