The aim of this work was to assess the effect of beebread and bee-milk on benzene intoxication. Rats were exposed for several days to benzene vapours and immediately after each day's exposure they were given per os some apiarian preparations. Effects of the preparations were assessed by determination of: urine phenol (a benzene metabolite) content, activity of some enzymes and bilirubin level. The results show that beebread and bee-milk applied during the benzene exposure caused that AlAT, AspAT and AP activity increasese and plasma bilirubin levels were reduced as compared with the controls. No effect of the tested preparations on the course of urine phenol excretion was observed.
