Propolis is a natural product has many biological properties of clinical interest, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Considering that people living with HIV/aids (PLWHA) on effective combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) present early aging due to an intense immune activation, inflammation, and redox imbalance, propolis consumption could offer a benefit to such patients. This double-blind longitudinal study evaluated whether Brazilian green propolis pills intake (500 mg/day for three months) would decrease the oxidative stress of virological suppressed HIV-individuals. To compare each group (propolis, n = 20 versus placebo, n = 20) in both moments (M0, before and M1, after the intervention), the following markers were assessed: plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), carbonylation, total oxide nitric, total antioxidant capacity (TAP), superoxide dismutase, catalase, and NFkB and NRF2 gene expression. Data were analyzed using Poisson, Gamma distribution and ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer. The groups were homogeneous regarding age, gender, time of diagnosis/ treatment, cART scheme, CD4 T cell count, and no changes were observed in the diet food, or patients' lifestyles. A decreased MDA concentration was seen in the propolis group (M0 = 0.24 ± 0.13, M1 = 0.20 ± 0.10 protein nmol/mg; p = 0.005) as well as a slight but non-significant increase of TAP (M0 = 49.07 ± 13.26, M1 = 52.27 ± 14.86%; p = 0.06). One may conclude that propolis promoted a lower lipid peroxidation and improved the antioxidant system, suggesting that its use may be beneficial to PLWHA in an attempt to contain the intense inflammatory and oxidant activity.
蜂胶是一种具有许多临床相关生物学特性的天然产物,如抗炎和抗氧化特性。考虑到接受有效联合抗逆转录病毒疗法(cART)的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者(PLWHA)由于强烈的免疫激活、炎症和氧化还原失衡而出现早衰,食用蜂胶可能对这类患者有益。这项双盲纵向研究评估了服用巴西绿蜂胶丸(每天500毫克,持续三个月)是否会降低病毒学抑制的艾滋病毒感染者的氧化应激。为了在两个时间点(M0,干预前和M1,干预后)比较每组(蜂胶组,n = 20与安慰剂组,n = 20),评估了以下指标:血浆丙二醛(MDA)、羰基化、总氧化氮、总抗氧化能力(TAP)、超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶以及NFkB和NRF2基因表达。使用泊松分布、伽马分布和方差分析,随后进行Tukey-Kramer检验对数据进行分析。两组在年龄、性别、诊断/治疗时间、cART方案、CD4 T细胞计数方面具有同质性,并且在饮食或患者生活方式方面未观察到变化。蜂胶组的MDA浓度降低(M0 = 0.24 ± 0.13,M1 = 0.20 ± 0.10蛋白nmol/mg;p = 0.005),TAP略有但不显著增加(M0 = 49.07 ± 13.26,M1 = 52.27 ± 14.86%;p = 0.06)。可以得出结论,蜂胶促进了较低的脂质过氧化并改善了抗氧化系统,表明其使用可能有利于艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者抑制强烈的炎症和氧化活性。
