Angiogenesis consists in formation of new blood vessels from other vessels already existing. It is a process that can occur in a pathological way, acting in the progression of several in-flammatory diseases such as psoriasis, endometriosis, among others. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of red propolis on inflammatory angiogenesis in a model of sponge im-plant in a hamster cheek pouch. We used 48 animals...
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of red propolis on cheek pouch angiogenesis in a hamster new model sponge implant. Methods: Forty eight animals divided into eight groups. (Groups I-IV), the animals were treated for 15 days before and 10 days after sponge implantation. (Groups V-VIII), the animals were treated for 10 days after sponge implantation (GI and GV: red propolis 100 mg/kg, GII and GVI: celecoxib 20 mg...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the genotoxicity of propolis and L-lysine, as well as their effects on the possible cellular damage in erythroblasts (bone marrow) and leukocytes (peripheral blood) caused by the carcinogen BBN (n – butyl – n {4 – hydroxybutyl} nitrosamine) in rats subjected to bladder carcinogenesis and treated with green propolis and L-lysine. METHODS: One hundred and twenty five rats were distributed int...
