The usage of natural product such as propolis has been used for treatment of various chronic diseases which includes atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the formation of monocyte derived macrophage foam cells in arteries, which play a major role in atherogenesis. Studies showed that propolis produced by honeybees may inhibit atherosclerosis but there is no studies that have been performed using propolis produced by Indo-Malayan stingless bees.
