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 (120 mg/kg BW/day, i.p.) or normal saline (1 ml/kg BW/day, ...
Exploring the palynological, chemical, and bioactive properties of non-studied ...
Bakour, Meryem; Laaroussi, Hassan; Santos, Pedro Miguel Ferreira; Genisheva, Zlatina Asenova; Ousaaid, Driss; Teixeira, J. A.; Lyoussi, BadiaaBee products are known for their beneficial properties widely used in complementary medicine. This study aims to unveil the physicochemical, nutritional value, and phenolic profile of bee pollen and honey collected from Boulemane–Morocco, and to evaluate their antioxidant and antihyperglycemic activity. The results indicate that Citrus aurantium pollen grains were the majority pollen in both samples. Bee pollen...

Laaroussi, Hassan; Santos, Pedro Miguel Ferreira; Genisheva, Zlatina; Bakour, Meryem; Ousaaid, Driss; Teixeira, J. A.; Lyoussi, BadiaaIn the present study, seven propolis samples collected from different areas of Morocco were evaluated for various potential attributes. Physicochemical parameters (moisture, pH, soluble substance, insoluble substance, ash content, conductivity, organic matter, resin, balsams, total carbohydrates, total proteins and mineral content), structural characterization by FTIR, phenolic and flavonoid composition and som...
