Royal jelly, which is used in functional foods due to its antioxidant capacity, has started be widely used. In this study, the capacities and phenolic contents of royal jelly mixtures were determined. Total substance (TPC) specified using Folin-Ciocalteu procedure, total flavonoid (TFC) by aluminium chloride colourimetric method, compound with LC-MS/MS activity 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (D...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of honey bee venom (BV) and royal jelly (RJ) alongside chitosan scaffold (CS) in improving radius bone defect in rats. A total of 60 full thickness radial bone defects with a length of 5 mm were created in 60 male Wistar rats. Six healthy radial bones (3 rats) were also assigned as normal control for biom...

Royal jelly has been demonstrated to have several physiological activities. However, in the literature, different reactions induced by royal jelly are reported. We describe a case of seven-year-old child that was referred to our observation for two episodes of oral allergy syndrome (OAS) that appeared ten minutes after ingestion of royal jelly. Skin prick test with standard panel of inhalant an...

Royal jelly is known as a functional food containing many useful minerals. In this study, we found an anti-environmental estrogen activity of royal jelly. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental estrogen that stimulates proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Royal jelly inhibited the growth-promoting effect of BPA on MCF-7 cells, even though it did not affect the proliferation of cells...

background royal jelly (rj), a food item secreted by worker honeybees, is a mixture that contains protein, glucose, lipid, vitamins, and minerals; it is widely used as a commercial medical product. previous studies have shown that rj has a number of physiological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiallergic and antioxidant activities. objectives in the present study, the anti-inf...

conclusions it seems that rj does not appear to have significant immediate effects on glycemic factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. however, further studies with larger sample sizes and different doses of rj are needed to achieve more precise results. background type 2 diabetes is the fourth major public health problem worldwide. royal jelly (rj) insulin-like activity and blood glucose mod...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of royal jelly against radiation-induced oral mucositis in rats. This study was comprised of 48 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, each between eight and 12 weeks old and weighing 275±35 g. These were divided randomly into six groups; Group C (control), Group IR (irradiation), Group IR+RJ50 (irradiation plus 50 mg/kg royal jelly), Group IR+R...
