Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 33-54, 15 January 2026.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Pigment evidence of phytoplankton community shifts driven by rapid changes in the western Arctic Ocean, 2008–2018

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Rapid warming in the Arctic have influenced the ecological and biogeochemical systems in the Arctic Ocean, particularly the phytoplankton community that plays a fundamental role in food webs and carbon cycle. Our 10‐yr study found an abrupt change in the phytoplankton community in the western Arctic Ocean basin between 2008 and 2018.

Effects of Zeaxanthin on the Insulin Resistance and Gut Microbiota of High-Fat-Diet-Induced Obese Mice

Foods
Obesity-induced insulin resistance (IR) can precipitate metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Zeaxanthin, a crucial member of the carotenoid family, has been found to mitigate the damage caused by obesity. However, reports on the effects of zeaxanthin on

Zeaxanthin epoxidation - an in vitro approach.

Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2012
Zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZE) is an enzyme operating in the violaxanthin cycle, which is involved in photoprotective mechanisms. In this work model systems to study zeaxanthin (Zx) epoxidation were developed. Two assay systems are presented in which epoxidation of Zx was observed.
