Abstract:Introduction:
Bee venom has therapeutics and pharmacological properties. Further toxicological studies
on animal models are necessary due to the severe allergic reactions caused by this product.
Method:
Here, Caenorhabditis elegans was used as an in vivo toxicity model, while breast cancer cells were used
to evaluate the pharmacological benefits. The bee venom utilized in this research was collected from Apis mellifera
species found in Northeast Brazil. The cytotoxicity caused by bee venom was measured by MT… Show more
