“…In parallel, the in vitro antioxidant capacity observed for honey has also been confirmed by studies that use in vivo models . For instance, Ahmad et al [ 45 ] showed that the consumption of Tualang honey (presenting 200.9 mg GAE/kg, a FRAP value of 2555 μmol Fe 2+ /kg and a DPPH • inhibition of 36%) demonstrated a dose-dependent response in increasing antioxidant activity and suppressing oxidative stress in female athletes. The time–course effect that provided optimal antioxidant activity and oxidative stress protection ranged from 1 to 2 h after consumption.…”

Portuguese Honeys from Different Geographical and Botanical Origins: A 4-Year Stability Study Regarding Quality Parameters and Antioxidant Activity

et al. 2017

Portuguese honeys (n = 15) from different botanical and geographical origins were analysed regarding their quality parameters (diastase activity, hydroxymethylfurfural content, moisture and pH), colour (L*, a*, b*) and antioxidant profile (total phenolics content, total flavonoids content, DPPH• scavenging activity, and ferric reducing power). The samples were analysed fresh and after 4-years of storage (at 25 °C and protected from light). The hydroxymethylfurfural content and diastase activity of the fresh samples were in accordance with the recommended values described in the legislation. In general, the antioxidant activity of the samples correlated more with the bioactive compounds content than with colour. The storage affected differently each individual sample, especially regarding the antioxidant profile. Nevertheless, although in general the lightness of the samples decreased (and the redness increased), after 4 years, 11 samples still presented acceptable diastase activity and hydroxymethylfurfural values.

“…Ahmad et al examined the effect of high (1.5 g/kg body weight) and low doses (0.75 g/kg body weight) of Tualang honey in 20 female athletes that were involved in different competitive sports; the quantities of total phenolic content (TPC), MDA, and ROS were analyzed, and the antioxidant activity (ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)) was monitored in the plasma of these athletes after 30 min, 1, 2 and 3 h after the administration of honey. The results showed that there was not significant difference between the two different doses and that the greatest antioxidant capacity was observed in both cases 2 h after the honey intake [ 114 ].…”

Phenolic Compounds in Honey and Their Associated Health Benefits: A Review

et al. 2018

Honey is a natural substance appreciated for its therapeutic abilities since ancient times. Its content in flavonoids and phenolic acids plays a key role on human health, thanks to the high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that they exert. Honey possesses antimicrobial capacity and anticancer activity against different types of tumors, acting on different molecular pathways that are involved on cellular proliferation. In addition, an antidiabetic activity has also been highlighted, with the reduction of glucose, fructosamine, and glycosylated hemoglobin serum concentration. Honey exerts also a protective effect in the cardiovascular system, where it mainly prevents the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins, in the nervous system, in the respiratory system against asthma and bacterial infections, and in the gastrointestinal system. A beneficial effect of honey can also be demonstrated in athletes. The purpose of this review is to summarize and update the current information regarding the role of honey in health and diseases.

“…On other hand, different studies have explored the effects of honey intake on malondialdehyde and ROS levels in athletes and murine models, where individuals were subjected to high-impact exercise regimens. The authors concluded that honey consumption leads to a marked reduction of oxidative damage biomarkers generated by high physical activity (Ahmad et al, 2017;Jurcȃu and Jurcȃu, 2017;Hills et al, 2019).…”

Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Compounds in Honey for Treating Osteoarthritis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dysregulation of joint tissue homeostasis induces articular degenerative changes and musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis. This pathology represents the first cause of motor disability in individuals over 60 years of age, impacting their quality of life and the costs of health systems. Nowadays, pharmacological treatments for cartilage disease have failed to achieve full tissue regeneration, resulting in a functional loss of the joint; therefore, joint arthroplasty is the gold standard procedure to cure this pathology in severe cases of Osteoarthritis. A different treatment is the use of anti-inflammatory drugs which mitigate pain and inflammation in some degree, but without significant inhibition of disease progression. In this sense, new therapeutic alternatives based on natural compounds have been proposed to delay osteoarthritis progression, particularly those agents that regulate articular homeostasis. Preclinical studies have shown a therapeutic application of honey and its bioactive compounds, ranging from treating wounds, coughs, skin infections, and are also used as a biological stimulant by exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this article, we reviewed the current medicinal applications of honey with particular emphasis on its use regulating articular homeostasis by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress.
