“…In group 1 (n = 8), the rats did not undergo any operation and were fed a special diet which has been described previously [15,16]. This special diet was liquid and calorically equal to those of the other groups which included alcohol or propolis separately or in combination, we applied elevated T maze test 1, 6, 11 and 30 days before the administration of liquid diet and just before the end of experimental procedure.…”

“…The animals were fed a special diet in which caloric intake was strictly controlled and water was available ad libitum. Briefly, the composition of the liquid diet with ethanol was as follows: milk, 925 ml (Pınar, Turkey); ethanol, 25-75 ml (96.5% ethyl alcohol; Tekel Turkish State Monopoly), and sucrose, 17 g [12] . The experimental protocol was conducted after obtaining permission from the local ethics committee.…”

Aim: This study is designed to investigate the protective effects of propolis in ocular tissues against chronic alcohol exposure. Material and Method: Wistar albino rats were used in this study. Rats were divided into 4 groups, and each group was fed a special liquid diet which contained an equal amount of calories. The control group was fed the liquid special diet without alcohol and propolis. We added propolis (150 mg/kg) to the diet of the second group. The diet of the third group contained alcohol, the concentration of which was increased progressively. The fourth group was fed a diet including propolis and alcohol. To counterbalance caloric intake, we decreased the amount of glucose in the special liquid diet for groups 3 and 4. At the end of 30 days, the animals were sacrificed and samples were kept at –80°C until evaluation. Specimens were investigated by light microscopy for morphology and morphometry. Results: In the histological investigation of ocular tissues, alcohol caused an increase in thickness of the cornea and corneal epithelium compared to the control group (p < 0.05). This incremental tendency was significantly reduced by propolis, and values were very close to those of the control group (p > 0.05). Alcohol did not cause any significant alteration of rat retinal thickness. Conclusion: This study showed that propolis is highly effective against corneal edema secondary to chronic alcohol intake.
