Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent systemic inflammation, which contributes to progressive multi-organ dysfunction, particularly in metabolically active tissues such as the liver and kidneys. Bee bread (Perga), a fermented bee pollen product rich in bioactive compounds,…

Introduction: Tick salivary glands constitute a largely untapped reservoir of bioactive molecules with significant therapeutic potential. Here, we investigated the selective anticancer activity of salivary gland extract (SGE) from the tortoise tick Hyalomma aegyptium using cancer cell line, non-tumorigenic cells, and…

Purpose: To investigate the roles that autophagy, oxidative DNA damage, and proapoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins play in astaxanthin's cytotoxic action on HeLa cells. Methods: HeLa cells were treated with varying concentrations of astaxanthin (2.5 - 40 μM). Untreated cells served as the negative control. Cell viab…

Human health, animal health, and environmental health cannot be considered independently of another. In this context, the degradation of ecosystems has been associated with a reduction in plant diversity, which in turn negatively affects bee health. The deterioration of bee health reduces the quality of bee products o…

This article discusses scientific reviews of the applications of honeybee products in human health and nutrition studies. Applications for treating diseases date back many years, but numerous new applications for human health have been discovered in recent times. Honeybee products have been discovered to possess thera…

The causative agent of American foulbrood, Paenibacillus larvae, is a leading cause of significant losses in beekeeping. In this study, the agent was isolated, its bacteriological characteristics were identified, and the expression levels of antibiotic resistance genes were determined. The study also assessed the anti…

Bee venom (BV) is valued therapeutically mainly for its peptides, melittin and apamin. This study determined the dose-dependent biological activity of bee venom standardized to its melittin and apamin content by UHPLC-ESI-MS, as well as that of its principal peptides, melittin and apamin, tested at matched concentrati…

Objective: Varicocele remains a major reversible cause of male infertility; however, the studies that have most strongly influenced clinical practice and research trends have not been systematically analyzed. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics, trends, and scientific impact of the top 100 most-cited (T10…
