Resveratrol

The dense storm microenvironment formed by an excessively cross-linked extracellular matrix, such as hyaluronic acid and collagens, serves as a major barrier that prevents drugs from reaching the deeper tumor. Current traditional two-dimensional (2D) cultures are not capable of modeling this drug delivery barrier in vitro. Thus, tumor spheroids have become increasingly important in cancer research due to their three-dimensional structure. Currently, various methods have been developed to construct tumor spheroids...

The present study aimed to elucidate the role of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and their potential interactions with immune infiltration via experimental verification and bioinformatics analysis.

BACKGROUND: Resveratrol has received much attention due to its beneficial effects including antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of resveratrol treatment on oxidative stress and insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed animals. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 30 six-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly allocated to three groups (10 animals in each group): The control group in which mice were fed a normal chow diet (NCD); the HFD group in which mice were fed an HFD for 26 weeks; and the HFD-resveratrol group in which HFD was replaced by a resveratrol supplemented-HFD (400 mg/kg diet) after 10 weeks of HFD feeding...

This study observed the protective effect of resveratrol(Res) on ovarian function in poor ovarian response(POR) mice by regulating the Hippo signaling pathway and explored the potential mechanism of Res in inhibiting ovarian cell apoptosis. Female mice with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, and low-and high-dose Res groups(20 and 40 mg·kg~(-1)), with 20 mice in each group. The blank group received an equal volume of 0.9% saline solution by gavage, while the model group and Res groups received suspension of glycosides of Triptergium wilfordii(GTW) at 50 mg·kg~(-1) by gavage for two weeks to induce the model...

Levodopa (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, L-Dopa) alleviates the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), yet prolonged usage may give rise to severe adverse effects. Resveratrol (RSV) is a potent antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory agent. And a variety of polyphenol antioxidant compounds derived from RSV combined with levodopa have demonstrated neuroprotective activity against neuronal cell death. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of this combination of RSV and L-Dopa on the survival rate, growth status, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of MES23...

Inflammatory cascades of the dysregulated inflammatory pathways in COVID-19 can cause excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines leading to cytokine storm syndrome (CSS). The molecular cascades involved in the pathways may be targeted for discovery of new anti-inflammatory agents. Many plant extracts have been used clinically in the management of COVID-19, however, their immunosuppressive activities were mainly investigated based on in silico activity. Dietary flavonoids of the extracts such as quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, naringenin, isorhamnetin, baicalein, wogonin, and rutin were commonly identified as responsible for their inhibitory effects...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a precancerous lesion in the oral cavity, commonly results from the Areca nut chewing habit. Arecoline, the main component of Areca nut, is known to stimulate the activation of myofibroblasts, which can lead to abnormal collagen I deposition. Meanwhile, Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid phenolic substance that can be naturally obtained from various berries and foods. Given that resveratrol has significant anti-fibrosis traits in other organs, but little is known about its effect on OSF, this study aimed to investigate the therapeutic impact of resveratrol on OSF and its underlying mechanism...
