The effect of Argentine propolis extracts against enzymes related to metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress, as well as the botanical origin of raw propolis, were studied. Histological and chemical analyses of propolis samples revealed that the botanical origin is Zuccagnia punctata, an Argentine medicinal plant. The melissopalynological analysis showed both pollen grains of Z. punctata and the other plant species. This result indicates that the differences found in the botanical remains compared to the palynological studies may have been caused by the bees selecting resinous shrubs mainly of Z. punctata for the production of propolis and other plants with flowers for the production of honey.

来自阿根廷的Zuccagnia型蜂胶：食品中与代谢综合征和氧化应激相关的病理潜在功能成分

研究了阿根廷蜂胶提取物对与代谢综合征和氧化应激有关的酶的影响，以及蜂胶原料的植物来源。蜂胶样品的组织化学分析表明，植物来源是阿根廷药用植物Zuccagnia punctata。该melissopalynological分析表明两者花粉粒Z.点状和其他植物物种。该结果表明，与古植物学研究相比，植物残留物中的差异可能是由于蜜蜂选择了主要以刺桐（Z. punctata）为主要成分的树脂灌木生产的蜂胶和其他有花的植物生产的蜂蜜。
