NIH study uncovers mechanism underlying resveratrol activity – 2
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. Researchers have shown how resveratrol, a chemical found in red wine and other plant products, may confer its health benefits. But Dr. Jay H. Chung, a senior investigator at NIH, says before researchers can transform resveratrol into a safe and effective medicine, they need to know exactly how it works on a cellular level.
Chung: It's possible that plant-based foods or chemicals can affect cells and physiology by a number of different ways.
Narrator: Resveratrol has received significant interest from pharmaceutical companies for its potential to combat diabetes, inflammation, and cancer.
