Can propolis be protective against ethanol-impaired anxiety and unconditional fear?

Abstract
Alcohol metabolism produces acetaldehyde and free radicals which are source of an oxidatif stress. The oxidatif stress causes oxidatif damage on area of learning and memory thus depresses learning and memory processes. Propolis is a component of honeybee that has been used extensively for folk medicine for centuries due to its several biological and pharmacological properties. This work is carried out in order to investigate whether propolis treatment could reverse metabolic alterations on anxiety induced by alcohol.
