  • Title: Resveratrol, a natural product present in wine, decreases tumour growth in a rat tumour model.
    Author: Carbó N, Costelli P, Baccino FM, López-Soriano FJ, Argilés JM.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1999 Jan 27; 254(3):739-43. PubMed ID: 9920811.
    Abstract:
    Resveratrol administration to rats inoculated with a fast growing tumour (the Yoshida AH-130 ascites hepatoma) caused a very significant decrease (25%) in the tumour cell content. The effects of this diphenol were associated with an increase in the number of cells in the G2/M cell cycle phase. Interestingly, flow cytometric analysis of the tumour cell population revealed the existence of an aneuploid peak (representing 28% of total), which suggests that resveratrol causes apoptosis in the tumour cell population resulting in a decreased cell number.
