Review demonstrates free radical neutralization by honey across biological models, highlighting potential therapeutic value in wound healing and chronic diseases.
Key Points
Honey neutralises reactive free radicals and upregulates vital antioxidant enzymes through bioactive phytochemicals, countering cellular oxidative stress.
Evidence from in vitro, animal, and human investigations confirms honey neutralises free radicals while strengthening endogenous antioxidant enzymes.
Findings support clinical utility in wound healing and skin repair, highlighting additional potential as an adjunctive strategy in cancer therapy.
