Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Study Identifies Honey Component that Stimulates Immune Cells A 5.8-kDa Component of Manuka Honey Stimulates Immune Cells Via TLR4 Journal of Leukocyte Biology, August 3, 2007 http://apitherapy.blogspot.com/2007/08/study-identifies-honey-component-\ that.html <http://apitherapy.blogspot.com/2007/08/study-identifies-honey-component\ -that.html> Abstract: Honey is used as a therapy to aid wound healing. Previous data indicate that honey can stimulate cytokine production from human monocytes. The present study further examines this phenomenon in manuka honey... These findings reveal mechanisms and components involved in honey stimulation of cytokine induction and could potentially lead to the development of novel therapeutics to improve wound healing for patients with acute and chronic wounds.
