Bee Venom anyone?

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.
