Abstract :This study investigated whether mad honey affects blood glucose and lipid levels in experimental animals. It was found that mad honey caused significant decreases in blood glucose and lipid levels in animals with streptozocin-induced diabetes mellitus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 10); and controls insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 10);. These decreases may be due to grayanotoxins in the mad honey causing the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas to secrete insulin by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system or M2-muscarinic receptors.
