Propolis Origin | Substances | Infection Model | Activity | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|
Brazil | Nitric oxide | L. braziliensis-infected mice | The combination of propolis (5 mg/kg) with NO favored the healing, collagen synthesis, the function of macrophages and fibroblasts, reduced expression of proinflammatory and tissue damage markers | [152] |
Brazil (green propolis) | Liposomal meglumine antimoniate | L. infantum-infected mice | Reduced the parasitic burden in the liver, without damaging kidney, liver, spleen, and heart (500 mg/kg) | [153] |
