The valuable effects of Anzer bee products against the gliclazide-induced damage on human cell viability

The studies on the benefits of natural products are still up to date around the world. The drugs are powerful agents for the treatment of the diseases, but the long-term use of the drugs may develop clinically unnoticeable side effects. They can cause damage at the cellular level and the cell viability can be affected. This status can lead to the development of some new diseases or cancer which is the most feared. We investigated the harmful effects of a frequently used antidiabetic drug gliclazide, on Healthy Human Pancreatic Cell “hTERT-HPNE” and aimed to improve these harmful effects with the special natural products of Anzer Plateau bees in Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. The cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of the drug gliclazide were investigated using different tests such as MTT, Flow Cytometry-Apoptosis. Anzer honey, pollen and propolis were analyzed by G/C-MS. The decrease in cell viability at all concentrations of the drug gliclazide was statistically significant compared to the negative control (p
