| Abstract | ||
| This study was investigating the chemical and physical analysis of bee venom and royal jelly before and after lyophlization process and found that the lyophlization process improved the efficiency of the enzymes and active ingredients as a result of low moisture to 5%. The use of bee venom and royal jelly improved the therapeutic efficiency of some diseases: improving the sexual efficiency, the functions of the kidney and decrease the rate of glucose by using the doses of 500 mg and 1 gram of (1mg of lyophilized bee venom +500mg of lyophilized royal jelly +25mg honey) / kg of body weight orally daily for adult male rats for a month. This study showed that the treatment of adult male rats by 1 gram (1mg of lyophilized bee venom +500mg of lyophilized royal jelly +25mg honey) / kg of body weight orally alone resulted in increasing the weights of the testis and the body of the epididymus, sperm count, testosterone hormone, the percentage of live sperm, and glutathione level, accompanied with decrease in malondialdehyde level and the percentage of sperm abnormality. The oral administration of (1mg of lyophilized bee venom +500mg of lyophilized royal jelly +25mg honey) in doses of 500 mg and 1 g/kg body weight today for one month increased urea concentration in serum and decreased in urine, urea clearance in urine was also decreased as compared to control group. (1mg of lyophilized bee venom +500mg of lyophilized royal jelly +25mg honey) in a dose of 1 g/kg body weight daily decreased serum, urine and creatinine levels. Decrease in serum glucose level was also observed when the test animals were treated with (1mg of lyophilized bee venom +500mg of lyophilized royal jelly +25mg honey) in a dose of 500mg and 1g /kg body weight daily. Remarkable for one month was showed increasing in body weight of adult rats that treated with 1g (1mg of lyophilized bee venom +500mg of lyophilized royal jelly +25mg honey) /kg of body weight compared with control group. This study recommended that using mixtures of lyophilized bee venom and royal jelly which are dissolved in honey as therapy of sexual efficiency, kidney and sugar diseases. | ||
