Poplar Propolis Improves Insulin Homeostasis in Non-Diabetic Insulin-Resistant Volunteers with Obesity : A Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial

Propolis, a natural resinous mixture rich in polyphenols, produced by bees from a variety of plant sources, has shown significant therapeutic effects and may prevent the development of certain chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with standardized poplar propolis extract powder (PPEP) on insulin homeostasis in non-diabetic insulin-resistant volunteers with obesity. In this randomized, controlled, crossover trial, nine non-diabetic insulin-resistant volunteers with obesity, aged 49 ± 7 years, were subjected to two periods of supplementation (placebo and PPEP) for 3 months. Blood samples and anthropomorphic data were collected at baseline and at the end of each phase of the intervention. PPEP supplementation improved insulin sensitivity by significantly decreasing the percentage of insulin-resistant subjects and the insulin sensitivity Matsuda index (ISI-M). According to this study, supplementation with standardized PPEP for 3 months in non-diabetic insulin-resistant volunteers with obesity led to an improvement in insulin homeostasis by its effect on insulin resistance and secretion. This study suggests that poplar propolis has a preventive effect on the physiopathological mechanisms of T2DM and, therefore, that it can help to prevent the development of the disease.
