“…Propolis (P Po ) is a naturally occurring, viscous substance that honeybees gather from a variety of plants, including poplar, palm, and pine trees, as well as gums, resins, mucilage, and leaf buds. It is also considered as a balsamic, resinous product that bees make (Bankova, 2005;Farag et al, 2021). (P Po ) is mostly made up of 40-70% flavonoids and phenolic acids, 20-35% waxes, 1-3% essential oils, and 5% additional materials (the majority of which come from pollen or are supplied by bees) such as proteins, minerals, and polysaccharides.…”

“…Propolis is composed of many biomolecules including phenols, terpenes, esters, hydrocarbons, sugars, and other mineral components. It has been reported that propolis contains several bioactive compounds such as avones, avonols, avanols, dihydro avonol, avanones, and total phenols propolis can be a natural supplement that has the potential to improve the health and safety of sh and thus increase the growth and productivity of the sh industry as well as economic e ciency (Mayada et al 2021). The aim of this work was to investigate whether using alcoholic extract and crushed raw propolis processed with radiation can reduce the reabsorption of harmful pollutant chromium (potassium dichromate) in different tissues of the Red sh, Carassius auratus.…”

Chromium is an abundant metal in the earth's crust and plays an important role in water pollution. There are two main forms of chromium in the environment: trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium, as the most toxic form. The present study investigated the effects of propolis on the amount of chromium reabsorption in the Redfish's liver, kidney, gill, and muscle. Redfish were fed on four diets treated with irradiated/non-irradiated alcohol extract and irradiated/non-irradiated crude crushed propolis as an antioxidant natural bee product, for 70 days. Treatments and the positive control groups were exposed to 9 mg/L of chromium for 6 weeks. According to the data available in this study, the amount of chromium reabsorption in the positive control groups is in the order of gill > liver > kidney > muscle. The irradiated propolis diet treatment groups showed a significant difference compared to the positive control group. Treatment groups 3 and 4 showed significant differences compared to treatment groups 1 and 2 in all organs, except the liver. Treatment groups 3 and 4 showed a lower amount of chromium reabsorption in the gills, liver, kidneys, and muscles compared to the positive control group, demonstrating a significant difference. The results obtained showed that propolis could be effective as a chemoprotective compound in managing the reabsorption of dichromate. Therefore, it can be concluded that irradiated alcohol extract of propolis is recommended as a suitable and convenient food additive to increase its antioxidant properties in the fish industry.

“…Recent studies have demonstrated its efficacy in managing conditions such as diabetes, cancer, asthma, and cardiovascular diseases. These studies considered the most popular varieties, manuka and kanuka honey ( 15 , 16 ). However, there is a lack of scientific research on the efficacy of Castanea crenata honey (CH).…”

Influenza is an acute respiratory disorder caused by the influenza virus and is associated with prolonged hospitalization and high mortality rates in older individuals and chronically ill patients. Vaccination is the most effective preventive strategy for ameliorating seasonal influenza. However, the vaccine is not fully effective in cases of antigenic mismatch with the viral strains circulating in the community. The emergence of resistance to antiviral drugs aggravates the situation. Therefore, developing new vaccines and antiviral drugs is essential. Castanea crenata honey (CH) is an extensively cultivated food worldwide and has been used as a nutritional supplement or herbal medicine. However, the potential anti-influenza properties of CH remain unexplored. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo antiviral effects of CH were assessed. CH significantly prevented influenza virus infection in mouse Raw264.7 macrophages. CH pretreatment inhibited the expression of the viral proteins M2, PA, and PB1 and enhanced the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and type-I interferon (IFN)-related proteins in vitro. CH increased the expression of RIG-1, mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) protein, and IFN-inducible transmembrane protein, which interferes with virus replication. CH reduced body weight loss by 20.9%, increased survival by 60%, and decreased viral replication and inflammatory response in the lungs of influenza A virus-infected mice. Therefore, CH stimulates an antiviral response in murine macrophages and mice by preventing viral infection through the RIG-1-mediated MAVS pathway. Further investigation is warranted to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the protective effects of CH on influenza virus infection.
