Observation on the Anti-inflammatory Action of Propolis for External Use
Objective:To investigate the anti-inflammatory action of propolis.Method: Anti-inflammatory action of propolis for external use was observed on the models of xylene-induced auricular swelling in mice
the edema of rat hind paw induced by carrageenan
the content of prostaglandine E2(PGE2) and nitric oxide(NO) in the serum of mice
the content of PGE2 in the inflammatory tissue of rats.Result: Propolis obviously inhibited the swelling of mouse pinna induced by xylene(P<0.05)
and suppressed the edema of rat hind paw induced by carrageenan(P<0.05)
decrease the content of PGE2 and NO in the serum of mice
decrease the content of PGE2in the inflammatory tissue of rat(P<0.01).Conclusion: External use of propolis has significant anti-inflammatory effect.
