“…Honey bee venom contains several peptides including melittin, apamin, adolapin, mast cell degranulating peptide, enzymes, biologically activity amines, and non-peptide components (Lariviere and Melzack, 1996;Kwon et al, 2002). Enzymes are composed of phospholipase A2, hyaluronidase, acid phosphomonoesterase, ␣-d-glucosidase, and lysophospholipase (Banks and Shipolini, 1986;Somerfield et al, 1984). Each honey bee venom substance has been studied to elucidate their anti-inflammatory effects (Somerfield et al, 1984;Saini et al, 1997).…”
