摘要： Bee bread is a natural product rich in bee pollen which has biological properties for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Whether bee bread from Lepidotrigona flavibasis, , a dominant stingless bee species in China, inhibits the development of BPH remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of extracts of bee bread from L. flavibasis (BBLF) on testosterone propionate (TP)induced BPH in mice by prostate index, histopathological examination, and biochemical parameter analysis. The mice were assigned randomly to four groups with 12 mice for each group: control, TP group (12.5 mg/kg), TP + BBLF group (300 mg/kg), and TP + longbishu capsule group (450 mg/kg). When compared to TP group, TP + BBLF group exhibited significant reduction in prostate index and slightly relieved some symptoms like thickening and elongation of glandular epithelia. For steroid hormones and proinflammatory cytokines, the levels of estradiol (E2), 2 ), interleukin-1(3 (3 (IL-1(3), (3 ), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum significantly decreased in TP + BBLF group compared to TP group. Our results elucidated that BBLF exhibited a significant inhibitory activity on TP-induced BPH, suggesting its potential capacity for antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties.
