Abstract: Current studies have revealed that propolis has significantly hepatoprotective effect. The scientists have paid extensive attention to the research in this field. The effects and mechanisms of propolis as well as the bioactive components against carbon tetrachloride liver injury, D-gal-induced liver injury, drug-induced liver injury and alcoholic liver injury in this paper have been reviewed in this paper. In addition, the future development trend has also been discussed.

Key words: propolis, hepatoprotective activity, bioactive component, mechanism
