Description : Propolis is resinous materials with various therapeutic potentials used by bees to protect hive. Propolis extracted from honey bees may inhibit atherosclerosis, but no study has been performed using propolis extracted from Indo-Malayan stingless bees. The study aims to investigate the effect of the ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) from Geniotrigona thoracica (G. thoracica) on the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells.
