Sirtuin activators mimic caloric restriction and delay ageing in metazoans

TL;DR: It is shown that resveratrol and other STACs activate sirtuins from Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, and extend the lifespan of these animals without reducing fecundity, indicating that STacs slow metazoan ageing by mechanisms that may be related to caloric restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elicitor signal transduction leading to production of plant secondary metabolites.

TL;DR: Progress made on several aspects of elicitor signal transduction leading to production of plant secondary metabolites are summarized, including the integration of multiple signaling pathways into or by transcription factors, as well as the linkage of the above signal components in eliciting network through protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.

High absorption but very low bioavailability of oral resveratrol in humans

TL;DR: The dietary polyphenol resveratrol has been shown to have chemopreventive activity against cardiovascular disease and a variety of cancers in model systems, but it is not clear whether the drug reaches the proposed sites of action in vivo after oral ingestion, especially in humans.

Role of Resveratrol in Prevention and Therapy of Cancer: Preclinical and Clinical Studies

TL;DR: In vivo, resveratrol blocks the multistep process of carcinogenesis at various stages: it blocks carcinogen activation by inhibiting aryl hydrocarbon-induced CYP1A1 expression and activity, and suppresses tumor initiation, promotion and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant cell cultures: Chemical factories of secondary metabolites

TL;DR: The production of the pungent food additive capsaicin, the natural colour anthocyanin and the natural flavour vanillin is described in detail.
