A.; Lyoussi, BadiaaBee pollen is an imperative product for human use. Seven bee pollens were harvested from Morocco, and their chemical, biological and techno-functional properties were studied. All samples showed acceptable physicochemical and nutritional quality with a mean energy value of 239 kcal/100g. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of major constituents like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and polyphenols. Moreover, pol...
Protective effect of honey and propolis against gentamicin-induced oxidative st...
Hassan Laaroussi; Bakour, Meryem; Ousaaid, Driss; Santos, Pedro Miguel Ferreira; Genisheva, Zlatina; El Ghouizi, Asmae; Aboulghazi, AbderrazakBee products are a promising source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity. The present study was designed to explore the protective effect of honey, propolis, and their combination on gentamicin-induced oxidative stress and hepatorenal dysfunction. This study was conducted on male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal injections of gentamicin (120mg/kg BW/day, i.p.) or normal saline (1ml/kg BW/day, i....
Effect of antioxidant-rich propolis and bee pollen extracts against D-glucose i...
Hassan Laaroussi; Bakour, Meryem; Ousaaid, Driss; Aboulghazi, Abderrazak; Ferreira-Santos, P.; Genisheva, Zlatina; Teixeira, J. A.; Lyoussi, BadiaaThe present study was designed to investigate the preventive effect of propolis, bee pollen and their combination on Type 2 diabetes induced by D-glucose in rats. The study was carried out by feeding daily two concentrations (100 and 200 mg/Kg BW) of propolis or bee pollen (or their combination to normal (non-diabetic) and diabetic rats for a period of 16 weeks. In vivo biochemical changes associated to diabete...
