Statement of the Problem
: According to the World Health Organization, two billion people will be aged 60 years or
older by 2050. Aging is a major risk factor for a number of neurodegenerative disorders. These age-related disorders
currently represent one of the most important and challenging health problems have impact on the economic and
social. Therefore, much attention has been directed towards the design and development of neuroprotective agents
derived from natural sources.
The honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) have several products, including honey, propolis, royal jelly, bee venom, and bee
pollen. Bee products meet the criteria of being natural products that have long-recognized medicinal properties.
Historically, bee products nutritional and medicinal values have been considered for thousands of years by Ancient
Egyptian, Persians, Romans and Chinese in supplementary nutrition and alternative diets. Bee products are often
sold as nutritional supplements and/or health products, and with potential anticancer, antimicrobial activities,
antioxidant, anti-nociceptive, and anti-inflammatory. Bee products polyphenols have neuroprotective actions via
quench biological reactive oxygen species that cause neurotoxicity and aging as well as the pathological deposition
of misfolded proteins, such as amyloid beta.
In the current talk will concerned on the neuroprotective of bee products and its ingredients against neurogernatives
diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and
depression.
