This study was conducted to investigate the effects of propolis and

mesalamine on experimental colitis in rats…

 

 

 

Most propolis-treated rats had normal histology; mesalamine-treated and

propolis+mesalamine–treated rats had inflammatory cell infiltration

at rates of 50% and 33%, respectively. The investigators concluded that

propolis and mesalamine are efficient independently and in combination,

but that their combined effect was not observed to be additive in

experimental colitis.
