The present study aims to investigate the protective effect of bees ’ honey against metanil-yellow-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Rats were divided into 7 groups: control group; three groups treated with 50, 100, and 200mg/kg metanil yellow, and three groups treated with metanil yellow plus 2.5mg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ day−1 bees ’ honey for 8 weeks. The obtained data showed that the antioxidant/anti-inflammatory activity of bees ’ honey reduced the oxidative stress in the liver tissue and downregulated the inflammatory markers. In addition, the elevated levels of AGE and the activated NF
