Recovery Effect of Flavonoids from Morus alba Fruits on Alloxan-induced Pancreatic Islet in Zebrafish (Dinio rerio)

Abastract Flavonoids from Morus alba fruits were evaluated for recovery effect on the damage of alloxan-induced pancreatic islet in zebrafish. Alloxan treatment on the zebrafish embryo surely decreased the pancreatic islet size (p <0.001). Rutin, isoquercetin, and quercetin very significantly recovered the size (p <0.001) and the fluorescence intensity of pancreatic islet.
