To evaluate the effects of propolis extract on inflammation in participants with chronic kidney disease. Specific objectives To assess before and after the intervention period: * The expression of transcription factors (nuclear factor-kB), antioxidant enzymes (heme-oxygenase-1), inflammasome receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, as well as the levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, Tumor nuclear factor-α, C-reactive protein, interleukin 1) and E-selectin adhesion molecules; * The levels of protein expression of inflammatory markers and antioxidant enzymes; * The profile of the intestinal microbiota of stool samples from the research participants; * Plasma levels of substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid and oxidized low density lipoprotein as a marker of oxidative stress; * Routine and anthropometric laboratory variables, indicative of the metabolic profile of the research participants; * Assess blood pressure, 6-minute walk test, recovery heart rate and chair lift test to assess the functional capacity of the research participants; * Assess atherogenic risk; * Food intake and nutritional status; Compare data between the intervention and control groups.
