Great news: Propolis has
also been found to detoxify the liver. Taking both honey and propolis together
also creates a synergistic effect, whereby the benefits of each are enhanced
when taken together. Imagine if industrial workers were given a simple dose of
honey & propolis before going to work...
The protective effect of
natural bees' honey to the liver of male albino rats against melamine toxicity
was studied.
Melamine supplementation at a dose of 20000 ppm in the diet for 28 days induced adverse effects on the liver, decreased serum total protein and increased liver enzyme: alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. Histological changes of the melamine supplemented group showed necrosis in the hepatic tissues around the central veins of the liver and precipitation of melamine crystals. Treating the male albino rats (that were presupplemented regularly with 20000 ppm melamine) with natural bees' honey at a dose of 2.5 g/kg body weight for 28 days improved both liver functions and increased serum protein.
In addition, a positive impact on the
shape of the cells after treatment with honey compared to the positive melamine
supplemented group was observed.
In conclusion, the results of this study revealed that the use of natural bees' honey has the ability to protect the liver of rats against the toxic effects of melamine.
