Phenolic Content, Antioxidant Activity and In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory and Antitumor Potential of Selected Bulgarian Propolis Samples
Overall, we can suggest that the high phenolic content of Bulgarian propolis from respective areas contributes to its enhanced antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity. Taken together, our results support the beneficial properties of Bulgarian propolis, with potential application as a promising therapeutic agent.
