It has potent antioxidant activity and then has been implicated in the management of various cardiovascular and inflammatory disorders. Further, it has been also documented to be successful in the reduction of ischemic reperfusion [I/R] injury. It has been found to possess immunosuppressive property and is used as anti-cancer and ameliorates the endothelial functions. Still, no evidence is availible that suggest signaling pathway mechanism associated with resveratrol.
