التأثيرات الوقائية للعسل ضد سمية تدخين التبغ في فئران ويستار
Honey has been used as a nutritional diet and traditional medicine due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. This study aims to evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of honey against the hepatoxic effect of cigarette and waterpipe tobacco smoking in rats. Honey was purchased from the local market. A daily dose of 1.2 g/kg of honey was administered orally to 48 male Wistar rats, and a digital smoking device was used to expose rats to waterpipe and cigarette tobacco smoke before dissection. The enzymatic activities of the liver using a serum sample were quantified, and liver tissue was isolated and prepared for light microscopy for histopathological examination. The hepatoprotective effect of honey was studied in rats in combination with cigarette and waterpipe smoking. The current investigation demonstrates that honey exhibits a substantial protective effect on liver tissue in rats exposed to cigarette and waterpipe smoking. Based on the study findings, honey exhibits a hepatoprotective effect.
