Precocene II, Anti-Juvenile Hormone, Honey Bee, Apis mellifera, Anti-Feedant The effect of precocene II on development of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, was studied in vitro. Oneto two-day-old worker larvae (body weight 0.5 — 1.0 mg) were removed from the colonies, reared on royal jelly-yeast extract, and after 24 h were topically applied with different amounts (5 75 |ig/larva) of precocene II....

Prolonged excessive ingestion or consumption of alcohol eventually results in hepatic insufficiency; induces the aggravation of viral hepatitis and/or fatty liver. The long term ingestion of alcohol not only induces a decline in the immune function but also promotes the production of inflammatory cytokines by Kupffer cells activated by enterobacterial endotoxins. Royal Jelly has numerous functi...

objective(s):in the present study, we evaluated immunological and immunomodulatory properties of royal jelly (rj) in 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (tnbs)-induced colitis in rats. materials and methods: eighteen adult female wistar albino rats were divided into three groups of six animals each: a control group that received only saline solution, a tnbs-induced colitis group, and a tnbs-col...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of long and short term systemic usage of royal jelly on bone formation in the expanded maxillary suture in a rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty eight Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups: Control (C); Only Expansion (OE), Royal Jelly (RJ) group, Royal Jelly was given to rats by oral gavage only during the...

Background. Royal jelly is a milky material secreted by the pharyngeal glands of young worker bees , which when fed as a sole nutrient to larvae causes the development of sexual mature queen bees. The unusual nature of this material has prompted different investigations into its biological/pharmacological/microbiological properties. As an part of the biological activity of royal jelly, an inves...
