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.
