Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia which causes oxidative stress. Propolis has been reported to have antihyperglycemic and antioxidant potentials. The present study therefore examined the anti-hyperglycemic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Malaysian propolis (MP) using streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Ethanol extract of MP showed in vitro antioxidant (DPPH, FRAP and H2O2 radical scavenging) and α-glucosidase inhibition activities. Male Sprague Dawley rats were either treated with distilled water (normal control and diabetic control), MP (300 mg/kg b. w.), metformin (Met) (300 mg/kg b. w.) or both. After four weeks, fasting blood glucose decreased, while body weight change and serum insulin level increased significantly in MP, Met and MP + Met treated diabetic groups compared to diabetic control (DC) group. Furthermore, pancreatic antioxidant enzymes, total antioxidant capacity, interleukin (IL)-10 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen increased, while malondialdehyde, nuclear factor-kappa B (p65), tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-1β and cleaved caspase-3 decreased significantly in the treated diabetic groups compared to DC group. Histopathology of the pancreas showed increased islet area an...Continue Reading
