Assessing the distribution and human health risks of cationic surface-active agents in honey from China.

Cationic surface-active agents (CSAAs) can persist in ambient water, be ingested by bees, and contaminate honey. Residues of CSAAs in honey remains unknown. This study measured the residual levels of five CSAAs in 271 honey samples from China using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry.

Turcz. Honey Prevents Inflammation Response and Inhibits Ferroptosis by / Pathway in DSS-Induced Human Caco-2 Cells.

Turcz. () honey, a monofloral honey, has garnered increased attention due to its origin in the plant. A previous study has shown that honey can ameliorate inflammation.

Antioxidant Polyphenols from Turcz. Honey: Anti-Inflammatory Effects on Lipopolysaccharide-Treated RAW 264.7 Macrophages.

Although the honey produced by Turcz. is precious because of its medicinal value, its pharmacological mechanism is still unclear. Here, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated murine RAW 264.

Kaempferol-3-O-galactoside as a marker for authenticating Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. monofloral honey.

Honey produced from Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. (L. bicolor) is highly valued and relatively rare, leading to adulterated or ersatz substitutes in the marketplace, with no reliable authentication methods available for enforcement of regulations.

Safflomin A: A novel chemical marker for Carthamus tinctorius L. (Safflower) monofloral honey.

Monofloral safflower honey (MSH), produced from nectar of the medicinal Carthamus tinctorius L., has been shown with excellent nutritional value and biological activity. However, current MSH authenticity verification is insufficient.

Extract of Unifloral L. Pollen Collected by L. Honeybees Exerted Inhibitory Effects on Glucose Uptake and Transport by Interacting with Glucose Transporters in Human Intestinal Cells.

Bee pollen possesses potential hypoglycemic effects but its inhibitory mechanisms on glucose absorption and transportation in intestinal cells still need to be clarified. Here, we determined the inhibitory effects of bee pollen extract originating from L. (BP-Cs) as well as its representative phenolic compounds on glucose uptake and transport through a human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayer model.
