We used the dose of 10 mg/kg of AF-08 as the dose for mice corresponding to the dose used as a human dietary supplement in our infection models

caffeoylquinic acids (including chlorogenic, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic and 3,4,5-tricaffeoylquinic acids) are predominant, and 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, the most represented compound, was identified as the putative actor of the anti-influenza effect.

(works for other viruses too , e.g anti - herpes effects , pro wound healing topically)

Effect of Croatian propolis on diabetic nephropathy and liver toxicity in mice - BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies

Background In the present study, we examined the antioxidant effect of water soluble derivative of propolis (WSDP) and ethanolic (EEP) extract of propolis on renal and liver function in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. In addition, we examined whether different extract of propolis could prevent...

Propolis in diabetes , lactate dehydrogenase reduced a lot, lower than controls even (indicating low tissue damage)

Lowered platelets a lot (probably good for heart disease , but something to be aware of for excessive bleeding)

37.5% or 50% of mice were long time survivors in untreated diabetic group versus a 100% survival of mice in diabetic group treated with WSDP or EEP



propolis for lung fibrosis prevention

Ultrastructural investigation of the protective effects of propolis on bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis - PubMed

We investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of propolis on bleomycin induced lung fibrosis and compared these effects to prednisolone treatment. Forty rats were divided into four groups of ten: group 1 was treated with intratracheal infusion of 0.2 ml physiological saline...
