Effect of bee venom on experimental arthritis.
Stimulation of cells and tissues, whether by mechanical, hormonal, or neurological means, results in the increased biosynthesis of prostaglandins (Ramwell and Shaw, 1970). It has been suggested that one such stimulus is inflammation, in the course of which phospholipases are freed from the lysosomes of phagocytes. These enzymes can cleave phospholipids of the cell membrane to yield arachidonic ...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of whole bee venom in adjuvant-induced arthritis.
The aim of this study was to assess the inhibitory effect of whole bee venom (BV) on adjuvant-induced arthritis in the rat. Rats were divided into pre-apitherapy, post-apitherapy and control experimental groups. The pre-apitherapy group was subcutaneously stung with a honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) and the control group was subcutaneously injected with 0.1 ml of physiological saline solution one ...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory effect of bee venom on antigen-induced arthritis in rabbits: influence of endogenous glucocorticoids.
AIM OF THE STUDY This study assessed the involvement of endogenous glucocorticoids (GCs) in the anti-arthritic properties of bee venom (BV) on antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) in rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS BV (1.5-6 microg/kg/day) was injected for 7 days before AIA induction, whereas the control group received sterile saline. The total and differential leukocyte count, PGE(2) levels in syn...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory effect of bee venom on type II collagen-induced arthritis.
Bee venom (BV) has been used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in traditional Oriental medicine, especially in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We previously reported that the BV injection into a traditional acupuncture point (Zusanli) reduced arthritis-associated edema and nociceptive responses in Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats (Kwon et al., 2...
متن کاملEffect of Honey Bee Venom on Lewis Rats with Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis, a Model for Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive and autoimmune neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). This disease is recognized through symptoms like inflammation, demyelination and the destruction of neurological actions. Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a widely accepted animal model for MS. EAE is created in animals by injecting the tissue of myelin basic...
