Abstract

Recent interventional investigations suggest the beneficial impact of propolis supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers; however, the results have not been summarized in a comprehensive meta-analysis. We conducted this meta-analysis to summarize all available data and provide clear evidence for whether propolis supplementation affects inflammatory biomarkers. This systematic review with meta-analysis was performed by searching databases (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase) until February 2024. It included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of propolis supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers in adults. This review included 20 RCTs with a total of 1139 participants. The propolis supplementation significantly reduced IL-6 (WMD = −2.48; 95 % CI: −4.62, −0.34; P = 0.023) and TNF-α (WMD = −0.86; 95 % CI: −1.45, −0.26; P = 0.005) compared with control groups. Although the CRP concentration was not reduced (WMD = 0.01; 95 % CI: −0.03, 0.05, P = 0.646), a significant reduction in CRP levels was revealed in supplementation durations ≥ 10 weeks. These results suggest that propolis has a beneficial effect on TNF-α and IL-6 levels and may be an effective adjunctive therapy for diseases where inflammation is a key factor in the etiology. Due to the limited number of studies, clinical diversity, and other limitations, it is necessary to conduct more high-quality studies to provide more precise and comprehensive recommendations.

补充蜂胶对炎症生物标志物的影响：随机对照临床试验的荟萃分析和系统回顾

最近的干预性研究表明，补充蜂胶对炎症生物标志物有有益影响；然而，这些结果尚未在一项全面的荟萃分析中得到总结。我们进行了这项荟萃分析，以总结所有可用数据，为蜂胶补充剂是否影响炎症生物标志物提供明确证据。本系统综述和荟萃分析是通过检索数据库（PubMed/Medline、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Embase）进行的，检索期截至 2024 年 2 月。研究纳入了评估蜂胶补充剂对成人炎症生物标志物影响的随机临床试验（RCT）。该综述包括20项随机临床试验，共有1139人参与。与对照组相比，补充蜂胶可明显降低IL-6（WMD = -2.48；95 % CI：-4.62，-0.34；P = 0.023）和TNF-α（WMD = -0.86；95 % CI：-1.45，-0.26；P = 0.005）。虽然 CRP 浓度没有降低（WMD = 0.01；95 % CI：-0.03，0.05；P = 0.646），但补充时间≥ 10 周的 CRP 水平显著降低。这些结果表明，蜂胶对TNF-α和IL-6水平具有有益的影响，可作为一种有效的辅助疗法，用于治疗炎症是病因中关键因素的疾病。由于研究数量有限、临床多样性和其他局限性，有必要开展更多高质量的研究，以提供更准确、更全面的建议。
