Analysis of the hepatoprotective activity and the toxicological, chemical and physical-chemical profiles of a sample of Brazilian propolis

In the present assay, the hepatoprotective activity of a sample of propolis from Rio Azul (PR) BRazil was studied using the model of acute hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). The physical-chemical, chemical and toxicological profiles of the sample were also studied. The chemical analyses of the sample indicated the presence of gallic acid derivatives, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy cinnamaldehyde as well as other unidentified compounds....
