- Brief Summary
Metabolic syndrome is a raising concern globally, especially in developing countries such as Pakistan. To prevent its risk factors diet and lifestyle modification is major solution. Functional foods have additional benefits of treating disease while providing basic nutrients. Mulberry is a native fruit with the properties of functional food, it is rich in anthocyanin and different anti-obesity,anti-diabetic, and anti-hyperlipidemic treating potential antioxidants. Mulberry will prove its therapeutic potential against the risk factors of metabolic syndrome.
- Detailed Description
Metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by a number of concurrent risk factors. These risk factors include dysglycemia, high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, low levels of HDL cholesterol, and obesity (particularly central adiposity). It is rapidly increasing the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Pakistan. The prevalence of MetS in Pakistan is 28.6%, and suburban areas from the province of Punjab showed a high prevalence. Females are more prone to metabolic syndrome. Dietary and lifestyle modification can prevent MetS from converting into CVD, T2DM, and stroke. There is limited documented research in Pakistan related to the therapeutic roles of mulberry fruit powder. With respect to these limitations, the present study aims to assess the therapeutic roles of mulberry fruit powder consumption on metabolic syndrome.
The utilization of dried mulberry fruit powder (MFP) as a component of nutritional supplementation will effectively ameliorate the clinical markers associated with metabolic syndrome.
