Antihypertensive effects of natural honeybee
products: A review
Zeliha Selamoglu
Ömer Halisdemir University, Turkey
Oxidative stress is associated with increased generation
of oxidizing molecules parallel to a significant
decrease in the endogenous total antioxidant capacity. It
represents an important pathological hallmark in several
disorders, including cardiovascular conditions such as
hypertension, and atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative
diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s
disease. Naturally occurring antioxidants are largely used
as dietary supplements to attenuate oxidative stress
in human disease. Honey bee products have attracted
clinical interest due to their favorable pharmacological
and biological properties, including anti-aging, anti-
tumoral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
effects. The presence of several important phytochemical
classes, such as flavonoids, aromatic acids and phenolic
components has been attributed to the beneficial effects
of these products. This review evaluates current findings
on the antihypertensive properties of honey products and
their therapeutic relevance to the clinic.
