Background
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by chronic high blood glucose levels that causes
complications in the eyes, kidneys, heart, vessels and nerves. Currently diabetic nephropathy is the
most significant long-term complications in terms of morbidity and mortality for individual patients
with diabetes. Honey bee venom can be considered as a natural remedy for diabetes due to its blood glucose levels lowering and lipid-regulating effect on diabetic rabbits.
Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Mongolian honey bee venom (Apis mellifera) on renal dysfunction in alloxan induced diabetic rabbits.
Material and Method
Twenty two Chinchilla rabbits were divided into three groups: control (n=6), diabetic (n=8), and bee venom treated (n=8). The diabetic group was injected with 5% solution of Alloxan monohydrate 100 mg/kg intravenously behind the ear for 2 minutes to induce diabetes. The bee venom treated group received a bee sting (a sting contains 0.2-0.5 ml of bee venom) on their hind paw every day after their diagnosis of diabetes.
Result
Bee venom treatment (BVT) led to the following changes: compared to the diabetic group, the bee venom treated group’s blood glucose levels lowered between 14.9% and 26.5%; the plasma creatinine and urea levels were decreased respectively by 19,8% and 14.8%. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were reduced by 14.8%.
Conclusion:
Treatment with Mongolian bee venom lowered the blood glucose levels and prevents the renal dysfunction in alloxan induced diabetic rabbits

Introduction
In 19th century, researchers proved at biochemical level the healing properties of bee products such as bee venom, honey, royal jelly, pollen, propolis and wax. The object of our research is the Apis cerena’s venom properties1-2.
Asiatic honey bee or Apis cerana is small honey are small honey bees of southern and southeastern Asia, such as China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea3. This species is also known as the Himalayan hive honeybee. This species is the sister species of Apis koschevnikovi, and both are in the same sub¬genus as the Western (European) honey bee, Apis mellifera4.
Goal
The purpose of our research is to study property and potential of bee venom and its effect on immune system. Heal¬ing property of Apis cerana was high. This study proves that bee venom therapy stimulates immunity.
Materialis and Methods
The research was conducted at the Scientific Research Center of “Monos” Institute of Traditional Medicine and in biochemical Laboratory of “Khuljborjigon” Clinic. For the experiment, we used 23 perfectly healthy mice of same sex and size which meets standards of laboratory testing.
We put a bee sting to 0.5 ml of 10% red blood cell (RBC) solution and measured time of heamolysis to de¬fine bee venom potential/capability by Shkenderov S., Ivanov Ts., (1985) method. Following Erne (1963), Kovalev I.E.,(1976), Petrov’s (1980) methodology of studying effects on immune system, we have stung bee venom to 23 mice on the acupuncture point of hind paw every other day in total 3 times. On third day of the experiment, we in¬jected into vein 2ml of 10 % sheep’s RBC to stimulate the immunity. On the fifth day, we defined weight of pancreas, number of pancreatic cells, pancreatic index, and haemagglutination titre.
Results
Potential of bee venom is determined by speed of heamolysis when bee sting is placed in the 0.5 ml of 10% RBC solution. If we place one bee sting into 1ml of RBC solution then the speed of heamolysis is 46 seconds, when two stings are place speed is 38 seconds and when 3 stings placed then time is 30. Compare to usual speed of heamolysis which is 60 seconds, change in time depending on the number of bee stings proves the effectiveness of bee venom (Table 1). In figure 3, the number of spleen cells of control group’s was 142.71±55.51*106/ml. this is 1.2 times lower compare to normal group which is 172.67±135.5*106/ml. BVT group’s number of spleen cells was 329.78±187.78*106/ml and 1.61 times bigger than in control group. In comparison to control group, haemagglutina¬tion titre of BVT group was 1.13 times higher (BVT group 54.86±19.95%; control group 50±8.83%, p<0.05) and this indicates that BV has immunity stimulating effect.
Conclusions
From our experiment we can conclude the following
1. Apis mellifera’s bee venom has high treating effect.
2. Bee venom therapy has immunity stimulating activity.

The biologically active food supplement products were produced in the form natural raw materials for powder, tablets, pellets, capsule, juice and extract preparation. Osteoporosis disease is increasing among the population of the world in recent years. Therefore, calcium supplement is used more often for prevention of this disease. Osteoporosis is now widely recognized as a public health problem since this disease, which increases bone fragility and thereby the risk of fractures, is associated with high mortality, morbidity and medical expenses throughout the world. We obtained new “Eghomon” supplement which reduces osteoporosis. We determined by quantitative analysis, the calcium ion and mineral composition is a crystal structure in this supplement. In the study, we used titrimetric, X-ray fl uorescence and X-ray diffractometer spectroscopy methods. The following mineral elements such as, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Mn, Al, Na, K, Si, Ti were contained in the Eghomon supplement. Additionally, we determined the concentration of calcium ion 22.9 percent in the supplement. INTRODUCTION Mineral ions such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc, etc.., play a tremendous role in the metabolic processes of the human body, including tissue, fl uid, and bone. In each are they function to promote and maintain normal body function with a wide range of activities including assisting in body hydration, enzyme activation, maintenance of pH, as cofactors in blood coagulation, controlling neuromuscular excitability, as well as promoting the stability of bones and teeth, and many other functions. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, most of which (98%) is present in the skeleton. The concentration of calcium ion in the blood is very important for the development and preservation of strong bones and teeth. Absorption of too much calcium in the blood may lead to the leaching of calcium from the bones and teeth. The absorption of calcium is controlled, in part, by vitamin D. Growing children in particular need an ample supply of calcium for the development of strong bones. Milk, which is a good natural source of calcium and which is consumed primarily by children, is usually fortifi ed with vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. Similarly, outdoor recess for elementary school children is mandated by law in many states because exposure to sunshine allows the body to synthesize vitamin D. In later adulthood, particularly among women, the level of calcium in the blood may decrease to the point where calcium is removed from the bones and teeth to replace the blood calcium, making the bones and teeth much weaker and more susceptible to fracture. This condition is known as osteoporosis and can become very serious, causing shrinking if the skeleton and severe arthritis. For this reason, calcium supplements are often prescribed in an effort to maintain the proper concentration of calciumion in the blood. Although the results are not yet conclusive, recent reports indicate 100mg of calcium ion, taken orally on a daily basis, may serve to prevent osteoporosis. Typically, such calcium supplements consist of calcium carbonate, calcium citrate and calcium lactate. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted used in the study of natural biologically active food supplements Eghomon. The researchers invented new Eghomon supplement in the institute of traditional medicine and technology of Mongolia. Eghomon is composed from horse bones and eggshells. It is a calcium preparation.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a complex, progressive
disease, which is accompanied by multiple cardiovascular
complications. Oxidative stress is significantly increased in
diabetic patients and may lead to great haemostatic
disturbances existing in these patients. The major thrust was to
review current literature on potential interrelationships between
haemostatic and metabolic abnormalities in diabetes mellitus.
Zomoshin-6 decoction and Caragana jubata (Fabaceace) used
in traditional Mongolian medicine have been shown to have
haemostatic and antiviral effects.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of
Caragana jubata (Pall.) Poir. and Zomoshin-6 decoction on
haemostatic parameters and lipid profiles in diabetic rats.
Methods: Diabetes was induced in rats by using alloxan at a
dose of 150 mg/kg. Control group received distilled water.
Caragana jubata (Pall.) Poir and Zomoshin-6 were administered
orally at doses of 2.0 g/kg and 0.2 g/kg respectively. Aspirin
(100mg/kg) was used for comparison as a standard medicine.
All treatments were performed daily for 3 weeks. Blood samples
were obtained and analyzed for fibrinogen levels, prothrombin
time, triglycerides (TG) and plasma uric acid.
Results and conclusions: Levels of TG (p<0.05), glucose
(p<0.03) and plasma uric acid (p<0.02) were increased in rats
administered alloxan compare to control and these were
significantly reduced by Caragana jubata and Zomoshin-6
treatments (Table 1). Caragana jubata and Zomoshin-6
significantly reduced increases in fibrinogen (p<0.05) level and
prothrombin time induced by alloxan (Table 2).
