derived from the Latin phrase “in yeast”‚ is an organic catalyst‚ most often proteins‚ that accelerate specific chemical reactions by lowering the required activation energy necessary for that reaction to occur. One enzyme in particular‚ Acid Phosphatase‚ is a critical enzyme in our every day biological functions. Phosphorus plays a vital role in energy transfer and metabolic regulation and is an important component of phospholipids and nucleic acids. (Hiroshi‚ 2001‚ Cavigis‚ 2001) Furthermore

The result of this study showed that bee bread extract has a protective effect in aluminum induced anemia and it significantly ameliorates hepato-renal toxicity and reduces the elevated CRP level and monocytes and leukocytes counts encountered after aluminum exposure. Aluminum alone caused significant anemia‚ elevation of BUN‚ CRP‚ leukocytes and monocytes counts and liver enzymes‚ ALT and AST‚ and deceased creatinine clearance.
