The protectivity of the natural honey has been assessed against the toxicity of Doxorubicin (DOX) in liver tissues of 106 male Albino mice Mus musculus strain weighing 37 ± 3 gm. The body and liver weights, morphological behavior changes, liver function and pathological effects on liver were recorded. Toxicity study of DOX showed that the LD 50 and LD were 20 and 30 mg/Kg, respectively. Intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection of DOX induced significant (p ≤ 0.01 -0.001) pathological changes in the health, i.e. general weakness, a few morphological changes associated with bleedings, ulceration of skin, hair loss, dimorphism of limbs and bosselation. Daily ingestion of natural honey for seven weeks has led to significant (p ≤ 0.01 -0.001) improvement of these symptoms which appeared as increases in both body and liver weights in comparison with control animals. The natural honey had enhanced the function of liver in treated animals with DOX + honey and reduced the pathological effects of DOX on the above morphological symptoms as well as in the hepatocytes. It is concluded that the ingestion of natural honey has a protective potency against the toxic effects of DOX.

“…Although the effect of honey on infectious diseases was not investigated in the present study, previous studies have shown that honey exerts a wide range of antimicrobial activities, against various Gram-negative and Gram-positive human pathogenic bacteria and Candida albicans (Al-Waili & Saloom, 1999) as well as anti-leishmanial (Zeina et al, 1997) and antiviral activities (Herpes simplex (Al-Waili, 2004) and rubella virus (Zeina et al, 1996)). On the other hand, the effect of HBM on immune disorders may be supported by the study of Al-Waili (2001) which reported immunostimulatory effect of natural honey, by enhancing the antibody production against both thymus-dependent and thymusindependent antigens during primary and secondary immune responses.…”

Honey is a natural domestic sweet food material and a chemically diverse superfluous product of nectar acquired from flowers. Owing to the presence of higher amounts of antioxidant compounds covering phenolic, enzymes, organic acids, and bioactive peptides, it holds a strong ability to prevent various maladies. In addition, honey has also been exploited in certain cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neoplastic, and inflammatory states along with its role in the treatment of copious infections and surgical wounds. Flavonoids and polyphenols are important bioactive components present in honey and have antioxidant properties. Some bioactive compounds, for example luteolin, galangin, isorhamnetin, quercetin, and kaempferol, are present in honey. Phenolic acids and flavonoids have important pharmacological activities such as anti-allergic, anti-biotic, anticarcinogenic, and hypoglycaemic. Moreover, curative potential of bioactive components and their utilisation in value added food products are also the limelight of this article. ARTICLE HISTORY
