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, a natural aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist, protects lung from DNA damage and apoptosis caused by benzo[a]pyrene.

TL;DR: All BaP‐induced effects could be prevented by resveratrol, suggesting a possible chemopreventive role for this natural phytoalexin against the development of lung cancer.

Effect of resveratrol in experimental osteoarthritis in rabbits.

TL;DR: It is suggested that intraarticular injections of resveratrol starting at the onset of disease may protect cartilage against the development of experimentally induced OA.

Hypolipidemic action of dietary resveratrol, a phytoalexin in grapes and red wine, in hepatoma-bearing rats

TL;DR: Dietary resveratrol is hypolipidemic with a tendency for anti-tumor-growth and anti-metastasis effects in hepatoma-bearing rats, and its antioxidative properties or those of its metabolite(s) in vivo are unclear.

Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in wine, reduces ischemia reperfusion injury in rat kidneys.

TL;DR: The results suggest that resveratrol reduced the renal ischemia reperfusion injury through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

Resveratrol, a red wine constituent, is a mechanism-based inactivator of cytochrome P450 3A4.

TL;DR: Data here showed that resveratrol is an effective mechanism-based inactivator of CYP3A4; however, it is not one of the main red wine constituents that are responsible for CYP 3A4 inactivation by red wine.
