According to Table 1, different models of skeletal muscle injury (e.g., natural aging [96], sarcopenic obesity [54], AGE-induced muscle wasting [38], malnutrition-related muscle loss [36], exhaustive exercise [90,109], etc.) were used to evaluate the effect of bee products on skeletal muscle. The effects of bee products on muscle mass varied considerably: some studies reported that bee products increased muscle mass [36,54,90,96,100,105,113] and improved physical performance [95,96,97,98,99] while others could not or did not depict any significant change in muscle mass [38,102,103,104,110,117]. However, the latter revealed major beneficial effects related to the biology of skeletal muscle aging such as improved muscle protein deposition [104], enhanced activity of mitochondrial enzymes [106], decreased muscle infiltration by inflammatory cells, decreased muscle proteolysis, lowered lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation [102,103], increased microvascular blood supply, heightened production of antioxidants [110], and increased clearance of AGEs from skeletal muscle [38]. These findings suggest that bee products may prevent the development of sarcopenia if supplemented earlier before the occurrence of muscle atrophy. In this regard, supplementing young football players with royal jelly for two months resulted in a significant increase in muscle and bone mass compared with control players who did not receive royal jelly [167].
