Identification of Renoprotective Phytosterols from Mulberry (<i>Morus alba</i>) Fruit against Cisplatin-Induced Cytotoxicity in LLC-PK1 Kidney Cells
The aim of this study was to explore the protective effects of bioactive compounds from the fruit of the mulberry tree (<i>Morus alba</i> L.) against cisplatin-induced apoptosis in LLC-PK1 pig kidney epithelial cells. <i>Morus alba</i> fruit is a well-known edible fruit commo...
