Kelulut honey	In vivo	Kelulut honey treatment showed improved BMI, percentage of body weight gain, adiposity index, relative organ weight, LDL, HDL and hepatoprotective effect in high-fat diet-induced obese rats.	[117]
Gelam honey	In vivo	Reductions in excess weight gain, adiposity index levels, plasma glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, plasma leptin and resistin, liver enzymes, renal function test and relative organ weight were found in Gelam honey-treated groups compared with rats fed with the high-fat diet.	[118]
Kelulut honey	In vivo	Kelulut honey supplementation significantly prevented changes in omental fat mass, serum triglyceride, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressures, adipocyte area and adipocyte perimeter induced by high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet in rat.	[119]
