Highlights
Adult male Wistar albino rats divided into in 3 groups of 15 each
While less inflammatory cell infiltrates in propolis group and few in bee venom group were detected. (Fig.1)
While in propolis the newly formed epithelial lining appeared in a form of thin continuous layer of basal and parabasal cells that cover all the wound lesion
Summary
Adult male Wistar albino rats divided into in 3 groups of 15 each (control, propolis & bee venom). Results: Bee venom showed the highest healing potential followed by propolis through stimulated epithelial cells proliferation and reepithelization compared to the control group. The aim of the present study was to assess and compare the healing potential of propolis and bee venom on surgically induced wound on rat’s buccal mucosa.
