The ameliorating effect of the combined extract from Greek and bee's honey on the hydrocortisone-induced osteoporosis in rat bone cells modulating the bone turnover, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

Many of the functional foods are designed to decrease the risk of chronic diseases like osteoporosis (OP) which is the most common bone disorder affecting millions of people. For the first time, the present study evaluated the effect of the combination between the Greek water extract (TVE) and bee's honey (BH) against hydrocortisone (HC)-induced OP . The characterization of TVE, BH, and their combined extract (TV-BH) was examined.
