Hepatic and renal effects of oral stingless bee honey in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model.

Background: Diabetes is known damage the liver and kidney, leading to hepatic dysfunction and kidney failure. Honey is believed to help in lowering the blood glucose levels of diabetic patients and reducing diabetic complications. However, the effect of stingless bee honey (SBH) administration in relieving liver and kidney damage in diabetes has not been well-studied.

The methanolic extract of Garcinia atroviridis (MeGa) reduces body weight and food intake, and improves lipid profiles by altering the lipid metabolism: a rat model.

species are widely used for their slimming effects via increased fat burning and suppression of satiety. However, scientific evidence for the biological effects of (GA) is lacking. We investigated the phytochemical composition, safety profiles, and antioxidant and antiobesity effects of methanolic extracts of (MeGa) in obese female rats.
