Hi, Hazirah,

My initial question is what component of honey are you hypothesizing to function as a promoter of cell viability? Also, what particular autism cell line did you use in your set-up?

Honey is largely a mixture of sugars and depends on the species of plant it was processed from. Also, it may contain potassium and sodium. These contents might affect the viability of autism cell line.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Arizaldo

component of honey are you hypothesizing to function as a promoter of cell viability?

Antioxidant properties such as phenolic and flavonoid content.

what particular autism cell line did you use in your set-up?

lymphoblast

I don't know about the precise but my hypothesize is an autism cell have different metabolism pathway than normal cell. So the antioxidant agent did not affect to the autism cell.

Its difficult to explain. From the first glance lymfoblasts are more vulnerable to honey

. honey contain also antibacterial substances which can decrease growth. Secondly, different cell line can different sentitivity to different substances

Hello. HPLC analysis of honey to investigate the concentration of major compounds of honey is necessary. Because several antioxidant such as phenolic compound may decrease the viability and survival rate.
