TLDR
A comprehensive and critical review of the in vivo data on resveratrol is provided, and its potential as a therapeutic for humans is considered.
Abstract
Resveratrol, a constituent of red wine, has long been suspected to have cardioprotective effects. Interest in this compound has been renewed in recent years, first from its identification as a chemopreventive agent for skin cancer, and subsequently from reports that it activates sirtuin deacetylases and extends the lifespans of lower organisms. Despite scepticism concerning its bioavailability, a growing body of in vivo evidence indicates that resveratrol has protective effects in rodent models of stress and disease. Here, we provide a comprehensive and critical review of the in vivo data on resveratrol, and consider its potential as a therapeutic for humans.

Resveratrol improves mitochondrial function and protects against metabolic disease by activating SIRT1 and PGC-1alpha.

TL;DR: RSV's effects were associated with an induction of genes for oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial biogenesis and were largely explained by an RSV-mediated decrease in P GC-1alpha acetylation and an increase in PGC-1 alpha activity.

Resveratrol Isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum Root Prevents Tumor Growth and Metastasis to Lung and Tumor-Induced Neovascularization in Lewis Lung Carcinoma-Bearing Mice

TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of resveratrol on tumor growth and lung metastasis could not be explained by natural killer or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activation, and the antitumor and antimetastatic activities of res veratrol might be due to the inhibition of DNA synthesis in LLC cells and the inhibited of LLC-induced neovascularization and tube formation (angiogensis) of HUVEC.

An LC-MS method for analyzing total resveratrol in grape juice, cranberry juice, and in wine

TL;DR: A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to analyze total resveratrol in fruit products and wine found it to be stable for up to 5 days at 4 degrees C in the dark but was not stable at room temperature without protection from light.

Bioavailability of trans-resveratrol from red wine in humans

TL;DR: The finding in human serum of trans-resveratrol glucuronides, rather than the free form of the compound, with a high interindividual variability, raises some doubts about the health effects of dietary resveratro consumption and suggests that the benefits associated to red wine consumption could be probably due to the whole antioxidant pool present in red wine.

Low dose effects of bisphenol A on sexual differentiation of the brain and behavior in rats.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the brain is highly sensitive to BPA at a dosage below TDI and that the disrupting effects of BPA on sexual differentiation may vary from those of RVT and DES.

Resveratrol Inhibits Transcription of CYP1A1 in Vitro by Preventing Activation of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that resveratrol inhibits CYP1A1 expression in vitro, and that it does this by preventing the binding of the AHR to promoter sequences that regulate CYP 1A1 transcription.
