Dietary supplementation with wholemeal bee powder (Apis mellifera) effect on improving metabolic parameters and modulating lipogenesis genes in diet-induced obese mice.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundObesity resulting from an energy imbalance is a key factor in the development of several comorbidities. Traditional communities have historically used insects for their nutritional and therapeutic benefits, particularly in treating chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. The present study explores the bee (Apis mellifera) powder supplementation effects on metabolic parameters in mice with diet-induced obesity. METHODS AND
resultsMale Swiss mice were subjected to a high-fat diet for three months, followed by a month of treatment with two different bee powder concentration additions. The animals were divided into four groups: standard diet, high-fat diet, high-fat with 15% bee powder, and high-fat with 30% bee powder. Bee powder supplementation reduced body weight and adipocyte size, promoting an increase in brown adipose tissue, decreasing glucose and cholesterol levels, and modulated the expression of FAS, ACC and GPX4.
conclusionThese findings suggest bee powder's potential use for therapeutic applications in treating obesity and related conditions.
