Salivary lactoperoxidase activity was calculated by absorbance value using a microplate reader at<br>wavelength of 340 nm.<br><strong>Results</strong>: Honey propolis hard candy increased salivary lactoperoxidase activity, although the increase was not statistically significant (p&gt;0.05).<br><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Honey propolis hard candy tends to increase salivary lactoperoxidase activity.</p> ER -
