Activity of Brazilian propolis on different Leishmania infection models.

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]
