HEALTH STIMULATING PROPERTIES OF RESVERATROL
Journal Title: Żywność. Nauka. Technologia. Jakość - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 5
Abstract
Resveratrol (3,5,4’-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural phytoalexin, synthesized, among other things, in grape skins as a response to fungal infection, oxidative stress, and UV irradiation. High concentration levels thereof are found in wine, mainly in red wine. This compound has a wide range of biological activities, for example: anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, antioxidative, and anti-cancer effects. Additionally, it protects human organisms against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, inhibits the oxidation of LDL fraction of cholesterol, suppresses platelet aggregation in blood and angiogenesis.
