In this stidy we examined the in vitro protective effect of honey on frequency of micronuclei in cultured human lymphocytes. To establish the most effective protective support, we used four different sort of honey, concentration of 0.3 mg/ml. Treatment of lymphocytes with 0.3 mg/ml of honey induces a significant decrease in the frequency of MN compared to control lymphocyte culture. These results demonstrate that honey may be important in the prevention of oxidative lymphocyte damage, and also may reduce the level of induced DNA damage. These results demonstrate that honey may be important in the prevention of oxidatove lymphocyte damage by ROS. These findings support the potential benefits of honey as efficient antioxidants and protectors. As suggested by this study, honey make it an ideal and cost-effective dressing for human health.
