"
01/01/2013 - "Antioxidant activity, total phenolic, total flavonoid compounds and cytotoxicity to cancer cell lines of propolis extracts from two extraction methods were investigated in this study. "

05/01/2012 - "This study provides the rationale to investigate the potential beneficial effect of propolis in the diet of patients receiving anti-cancer therapies."

05/20/2013 - "The incorporation of hydroalcoholic extracts of Brazilian propolis improved the biological events associated to burn healing without toxic effects, but the red variety provided the best results. "

04/04/2007 - "In the stress-induced ulcer model it was observed a significant reduction (p<0.05) in those parameters in animals treated with green propolis extract (250 and 500 mg/kg). "
11/01/2014 - "In addition, 10 vs. 2% (P<0.001), then 19 vs. 12% (P<0.05) of propolis treated vs. control ulcers had fully healed by weeks 3 and 7, respectively. "
11/01/2014 - "Ulcer area was reduced by a mean 41% in the propolis group compared with 16% in the control group at week 1 (P<0.001), and by 63 vs. 44% at week 3, respectively (P<0.05). "
04/04/2007 - "Regarding the pylorus ligated model it was observed that green propolis extract (250 and 500 mg/kg) displayed an anti-secretory activity, which lead to a reduction in the gastric juice volume, total acidity and pH. These findings indicate that Brazilian green propolis displays good anti-ulcer activity, corroborating the folk use of propolis preparations, and contributing for its pharmacological validation."
03/01/2001 - "Although inevitably circumstantial, the abrupt healing of this child's chronic eosinophilic ulcers suggests that, in the light of its previously known therapeutic associations, propolis deserves further evaluation in the treatment of this condition, and perhaps in other forms of oral ulceration as well."
