The Claim

In the rat air pouch model, a decrease in angiogenesis correlates with the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), suggesting a potential mechanistic relationship.

In plain English

When certain chemicals are blocked in rats, it seems to slow down the growth of new blood vessels, which might explain how this process works.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Natural Honey: A New and Potent Anti-Angiogenic Agent in the Air-Pouch Model of Inflammation

    The study shows that when honey reduces blood vessel growth in rats, it also lowers certain chemicals linked to inflammation, which matches the claim about how these things are connected.
