TL;DR: Dietary intake of olive oil polyphenols may lower the risk of reactive oxygen metabolite-mediated diseases such as some gastrointestinal diseases and atherosclerosis, and the data demonstrate that (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol can act as a biological antioxidant in a cell culture experimental model.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that resveratrol causes a complete and reversible cell cycle arrest at the S phase checkpoint, indicating that the G1 --> S transition occurs normally.

TL;DR: The kinetic data demonstrate that [14C]DPE transport occurs via a passive diffusion mechanism and is bidirectional; the calculated apparent permeability coefficient indicates that the molecule is quantitatively absorbed at the intestinal level.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that hydroxytyrosol prevents both oxidative alterations, therefore, providing protection against peroxide-induced cytotoxicity in erythrocytes, giving new experimental support to the hypothesis of a protective role played by nonvitamin antioxidant components of virgin olive oil on oxidative stress in human systems.

TL;DR: It is suggested that resveratrol might be considered an interesting compound in association with more specific target-oriented drugs, due to the scarce interest of pharmaceutical industry.
