Prophylactic and curative role of bee products against hyperlipaemia

ABSTRACT

True floral [normal], false non-floral [artificial] honey, royal jelly and pollen, in comparison with clofibrate, were administered orally to albino rats to study their prophylactic and curative role either during simultaneous feeding of hyperlipemia diet [12 weeks] or after 8 weeks from induction of experimental hyperlipemia. The results proved that the test bee products almost improved and normalized the elevation of serum lipid pattern possibly due to some common components existing within their chemical composition. The data discussed the variations in effects which seemed to be attributed to certain natural components specific to each bee product
