Researchers challenge study that resveratrol lessens exercise benefits for the heart

On October 15, 2013, James M. Smoliga, an Associate Professor with High Point University. and Otis L. Blanchard, a private researcher and President and CTO of Wilmore Labs LLC wrote an editorial; highlighting flaws of the study. Blanchard and Smoliga reviewed the study, saying the conclusions were “incorrect”.-link

Flaws were found on a negative study on resveratrol. Negative studies on supplements have the potential to reduce sales, but there are times when the studies are flawed.

Dietary resveratrol prevents Alzheimer’s markers and increases life span in SAMP8

Abstract

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that is mainly found in grapes and red wine and has been reported to be a caloric restriction (CR) mimetic driven by Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activation. Resveratrol increases metabolic rate, insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial biogenesis and physical endurance, and reduces fat accumulation in mice. In addition, resveratrol may be a powerful agent to prevent age-associated neurodegeneration and to improve cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Moreover, different findings support the view that longevity in mice could be promoted by CR. In this study, we examined the role of dietary resveratrol in SAMP8 mice, a model of age-related AD. We found that resveratrol supplements increased mean life expectancy and maximal life span in SAMP8 and in their control, the related strain SAMR1. In addition, we examined the resveratrol-mediated neuroprotective effects on several specific hallmarks of AD. We found that long-term dietary resveratrol activates AMPK pathways and pro-survival routes such as SIRT1 in vivo. It also reduces cognitive impairment and has a neuroprotective role, decreasing the amyloid burden and reducing tau hyperphosphorylation.-url

Resveratrol seems to extend lifespan in a mouse model of alzheimers, and also in a short lifespan mouse model.
