anyone have any more info about this:
Researchers verified, in a pre-clinical model of the
disease, that bee venom and one of its components,
apamine, are able to stop or slow the loss of dopaminergic
neurons, the neuronal cell type most severely affected in PD.
They showed that regular bee venom injections are indeed
able to slow the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in
the PD model used, and that this effect is partially due to
apamine.
However, the complete list of compounds responsible for
this effect and the mechanism(s) of action remain to be
characterized.
