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.

A validated HPLC method for the quantitative analysis of trans-resveratrol and trans-piceid in Hungarian wines

TL;DR: A new, simple procedure for the determination of phenolic components of wines, such as resveratrol and piceid isomers, has been elaborated and validated and its detection limit is found to be 0.6 pmol.

Effects of Resveratrol on Acoustic Trauma

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the resveratrol group showed reduced threshold shifts compared with the control group after noise exposure, corresponding to the region most represented by the frequency of the traumatic noise.

Synergistic inhibition of HIV-1 in activated and resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells, monocyte-derived macrophages, and selected drug-resistant isolates with nucleoside analogues combined with a natural product, resveratrol.

TL;DR: It is reported that resveratrol (RV) synergistically enhances the anti‐HIV‐1 activity of the nucleoside analogues zidovudine (AZT), zalcitabine (ddC), and didanosine ( ddl), and when compared with hydroxyurea (HU), both 100 mM HU and 10 mM RV showed similar enhancement of ddI‐antiviral suppressive activity.

Trans-resveratrol modulates the catalytic activity and mRNA expression of the procarcinogen-activating human cytochrome P450 1B1.

TL;DR: The novel finding that trans-resveratrol inhibits the catalytic activity and suppresses the constitutive gene expression of CYP1B1 leads to the possibility that this nutraceutical confers protection against toxicity and carcinogenicity induced by compounds that undergo CYP 1B1-catalyzed bioactivation.

Caloric Restriction Mimetics: The Next Phase

TL;DR: The next phase of calorie restriction studies includes basic investigations as well as possible clinical trials of a number of candidate CR mimetics, ranging from glycolytic inhibitors to lipid‐regulating agents to antioxidants and specific gene modulators.
