Abstract
Impaired wound healing is one of a variety of severe diabetic complications and involves many factors, including consistent oxidative stress, prolonged inflammation, impaired angiogenesis, and delayed re-epithelialization. Despite the severe negative impacts that impaired wound healing has on patients' lives, detailed mechanisms and effective therapies are still not fully developed. In this study, we aim to investigate the potential effects and mechanisms of topical administration of pterostilbene and resveratrol on burn wound healing in diabetes. Our in vitro experiments in human umbilical vein endothelial cells showed that long term exposure of hyperglycemia induces oxidative stress and suppression of hypoxia inducible factor1α (HIF1α) signaling pathway, and pterostilbene treatment completely, while resveratrol treatment partly, reversed this effect. Further in vivo experiments in diabetic rats showed that topical administration of pterostilbene exhibited stronger efficacy than resveratrol in normalizing oxidative stress, HIF1α activity, and accelerating burn wound healing in diabetes. We conclude that topical administration of pterostilbene accelerates burn wound healing in diabetes through activation of the HIF1α signaling pathway; thus, pterostilbene may be a potential candidate for clinical treatment of burn wound healing in diabetes.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the mechanism of resveratrol(RES) pretreatment in improving mitochondrial function and alleviating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion(IR) injury by inhibiting stromal interaction molecule 2(STIM2) through microRNA-20 b-5 p(miR-20 b-5 p). Ninety rats were randomly assigned into sham group, IR group, IR+RES(50 mg·kg~(-1) RES) group, IR+RES+antagomir NC(50 mg·kg~(-1) RES+80 mg·kg~(-1) antagomir NC) group, and IR+RES+miR-20 b-5 p antagomir(50 mg·kg~(-1) RES+80 mg·kg~(-1) miR-20 b-5 p antagomir) group, with 18 rats/group. The IR rat model was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Two weeks before the operation, rats in the IR+RES group were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg·kg~(-1) RES, and those in the sham and IR groups were injected with the same dose of normal saline, once a day. Ultrasonic instrument was used to detect the left ventricular internal diameter at end-diastole(LVIDd) and left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole(LVIDs) of rats in each group. The 2,3,5-triphenyte-trazoliumchloride(TTC) method and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining were employed to detect the myocardial infarction area and histopathology, respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR) was carried out to detect the expression of miR-20 b-5 p in myocardial tissue. Oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R) was performed to establish an OGD/R model of H9 c2 cardiomyocytes. CCK-8 assay was employed to detect H9 c2 cell viability. H9 c2 cells were assigned into the control group, OGD/R group, OGD/R+RES group(25 μmol·L~(-1)), OGD/R+RES+inhibitor NC group, OGD/R+RES+miR-20 b-5 p inhibitor group, mimic NC group, miR-20 b-5 p mimic group, inhibitor NC group, and miR-20 b-5 p inhibitor group. Flow cytometry was employed to detect cell apoptosis. Western blot was employed to detect the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), cleaved-cysteine proteinase 3(cleaved-caspase-3), and STIM2 in cells. The mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) assay kit, reactive oxygen species(ROS) assay kit, and adenosine triphosphate(ATP) assay kit were used to detect the MMP, ROS, and ATP levels, respectively. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was adopted to verify the targeting relationship between miR-20 b-5 p and STIM2. Compared with the sham group, the modeling of IR increased the myocardial infarction area, LVIDd, LVIDs, and myocardial pathology and down-regulated the expression of miR-20 b-5 p(P<0.05). These changes were alleviated in the IR+RES group(P<0.05). The IR+RES+miR-20 b-5 p antagomir group had higher myocardial infarction area, LVIDd, LVIDs, and myocardial pathology and lower expression of miR-20 b-5 p than the IR+RES group(P<0.05). The OGD/R group had lower viability of H9 c2 cells than the control group(P<0.05) and the OGD/R+RES groups(25, 50, and 100 μmol·L~(-1))(P<0.05). Additionally, the OGD/R group had higher H9 c2 cell apoptosis rate, protein levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, and ROS level and lower Bcl-2 protein, MMP, and ATP levels than the control group(P<0.05) and the OGD/R+RES group(P<0.05). The OGD/R+RES+miR-20 b-5 p inhibitor group had higher H9 c2 cell apoptosis rate, protein levels of Bax and cleaved-caspase 3, and ROS level and lower Bcl-2 protein, MMP, and ATP levels than the OGD/R+RES group(P<0.05). miR-20 b-5 p had a targeting relationship with STIM2. The expression of STIM2 was lower in the miR-20 b-5 p mimic group than in the mimic NC group(P<0.05) and lower in the inhibitor NC group than in the miR-20 b-5 p inhibitor group(P<0.05). RES pretreatment can inhibit the expression of STIM2 by promoting the expression of miR-20 b-5 p, thereby improving the function of mitochondria and alleviating myocardial IR damage.

Abstract
Cancer cells must survive aberrant fluid shear stress (FSS) in the circulation to metastasize. Herein, we investigate the role that FSS has on colorectal cancer cell apoptosis, proliferation, membrane damage, calcium influx, and therapeutic sensitization. We tested this using SW480 (primary tumor) and SW620 cells (lymph node metastasis) derived from the same patient. The cells were exposed to either shear pulses, modeling millisecond intervals of high FSS seen in regions of turbulent flow, or sustained shear to model average magnitudes experienced by circulating tumor cells. SW480 cells were significantly more sensitive to FSS-induced death than their metastatic counterparts. Shear pulses caused significant cell membrane damage, while constant shear decreased cell proliferation and increased the expression of CD133. To investigate the role of mechanosensitive ion channels, we treated cells with the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1, which increased intracellular calcium. Pretreatment with resveratrol further increased the calcium influx via the lipid-raft colocalization of Piezo1. However, minimal changes in apoptosis were observed due to calcium saturation, as predicted via a computational model of apoptosis. Furthermore, SW480 cells had increased levels of Piezo1, calcium influx, and TRAIL-mediated apoptosis compared to SW620 cells, highlighting differences in the mechano-activation of metastatic cells, which may be a necessary element for successful dissemination in vivo.

Abstract
Background: Several clinical trials have suggested that resveratrol has hypoglycemic properties; however, there are other studies in which such an effect has not been observed. Methods: We carried out a systematic search in several databases; seventeen studies were selected for the systematic review and fifteen were included in the meta-analysis. Results: Resveratrol decreases glucose levels in subjects aged 45−59 years at doses <250 mg/day (−8.64 mg/dL, p < 0.00001), 250−500 mg/day (−22.24 mg/dL, p = 0.0003), and 500−1000 mg/day (−28.40 mg/dL, p = 0.0008), while in subjects older than 60 years, it only decreases with doses of 250−500 mg/day. Likewise, HbA1c improved in subjects aged 45−59 years with doses of 250−500 mg (−0.60%, p < 0.00001), but not in subjects older than 60 years. Insulin levels improved in subjects aged 45−59 years with doses < 250 mg/day (−0.80 mIU/L, p = 0.0003) and doses of 250−500 mg/day (−5.0 mIU/L, p = 0.0003), although in subjects older than 60 years, they only improved with doses of 250−500 mg/day (−1.79 mIU/L, p = 0.01). On the other hand, HOMA-IR only improved in subjects older than 60 years with doses of 250−500 mg/day (−0.40, p = 0.01). Conclusions: Resveratrol has a statistically significant dose−response effect on glucose concentrations, HbA1c, and insulin levels; however, there is not enough scientific evidence to propose a therapeutic dose.

Abstract
Several chemical compounds including natural products have been suggested as being effective against age-related diseases or as beneficial for a healthy life. On the other hand, forkhead box O (FOXO) proteins are emerging as key cellular components associated with extreme human longevity. FOXO proteins are mainly regulated by posttranslational modifications and as these modifications are reversible, activation and inactivation of FOXO are attainable through pharmacological treatment. Here, we questioned whether a panel of compounds with known health-beneficial properties has the capacity to induce the activity of FOXO factors. We show that resveratrol, a phytoalexin present in grapes and other food products, the amide alkaloid piperlongumine found in the fruit of the long pepper, and the plant-derived β-carboline compound harmine induced nuclear translocation of FOXO3. We also show that piperlongumine and harmine but not resveratrol activate FOXO-dependent transcription. We determined the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values for resveratrol, piperlongumine, and harmine for FOXO translocation, and analyzed their inhibitory impact on chromosomal maintenance 1 (CRM1)-mediated nuclear export and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We also used chemical biology approach and Western blot analysis to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. We show that harmine, piperlongumine, and resveratrol activate FOXO3 independently of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling and the CRM1-mediated nuclear export. The effect of harmine on FOXO3 activity is at least partially mediated through the inhibition of dual-specificity tyrosine (Y) phosphorylationregulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) and can be reverted by the inhibition of sirtuins (SIRTs).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a spectrum of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia and shows a growing global public health problem in the elderly. Resveratrol presents antiaging, anti-inflammatory, antitumor antioxidant, and cardioprotective activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ameliorative effects of resveratrol on blood glucose, insulin metabolism, lipid profile, renal function, inflammation, and nutrient sensing systems in the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS The study is a single-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled clinical trial consisting of a 6-month treatment period. A total of 472 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled, and included participants will be randomized into 2 groups: resveratrol (n = 242) and placebo (n = 230). The clinical efficacy and changes in clinical parameters in each group will be measured at the indicated time. Clinical parameters included blood glucose, insulin resistance index, blood lipid index, proinflammatory cytokines, renal function, and nutrient sensing systems. RESULTS Resveratrol treatment greatly improved glucose metabolism, insulin tolerance, and insulin metabolism compared to placebo. Resveratrol relieved symptoms through enhancing nutrient sensing systems, which in turn reduced production and activity of glucose-6-phosphatase. Compared with placebo, resveratrol treatment significantly decreased proinflammatory cytokines glycated hemoglobin/hemoglobin A1c, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-1beta in the elderly diabetes. Resveratrol treatment decreased blood glucose parameters, improved the lipid profile (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides), and renal function compared to placebo. CONCLUSION In conclusion, resveratrol treatment improves inflammation, renal function, blood glucose parameters, inflammation, insulin resistance, and nutrient sensing systems in the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, indicating resveratrol may be a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds represent a broad class of dietary metabolites derived from fruits and vegetables, such as polyphenols, carotenoids and glucosinolates with potential for cancer prevention. Curcumin, resveratrol, quercetin, and β-carotene have been the most widely applied bioactive compounds in chemoprevention. Lately, many approaches to encapsulating bioactive components in nano-delivery systems have improved biomolecules' stability and targeted delivery. In this review, we critically analyze nano-delivery systems for bioactive compounds, including polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), liposomes, niosomes, and nanoemulsions (NEs) for potential use in cancer therapy. Efficacy studies of the nanoformulations using cancer cell lines and in vivo models and updated human clinical trials are also discussed. Nano-delivery systems were found to improve the therapeutic efficacy of bioactive molecules against various types of cancer (e.g., breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer) mainly due to the antiproliferation and pro-apoptotic effects of tumor cells. Furthermore, some bioactive compounds have promised combination therapy with standard chemotherapeutic agents, with increased tumor efficiency and fewer side effects. These opportunities were identified and developed to ensure more excellent safety and efficacy of novel herbal medicines enabling novel insights for designing nano-delivery systems for bioactive compounds applied in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by neuronal loss and subsequent brain damage and can be accompanied by transient or permanent neurological dysfunction. The recovery of cognitive function after TBI is a challenge. This study aimed at investigating whether treatment with resveratrol (RSV) could prevent cognitive dysfunction after TBI in mice. TBI mouse model using weight drop-impact method. Male mice aged from 7 to 9 weeks were randomly divided into four groups: TBI group, TBI + vehicle group, TBI + RSV group, and sham-operated control group. The animals from the TBI + vehicle group and TBI + RSV group were intraperitoneally injected at 3 and 24 h post-TBI with placebo and RSV (3%, 5 ml/kg), respectively. Two days after TBI, the hippocampus of mice was extracted, and western blot analysis was performed for Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), synaptophysin (SYP), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and P-p38 MAPK. Moreover, behavioral functions of TBI mice were evaluated by Y maze to determine RSV efficacy in preventing cognitive impairment in TBI. RSV increased the expression of SIRT1 protein, which in turn activated the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. Taken together, our findings suggest that RSV exerts a strong beneficial effect on improving neurological function induced by TBI.

Abstract
Phytoestrogen resveratrol (R) has been demonstrated to benefit human reproductive health. However, R bioavailability and pharmacokinetics are still problematic under oral supplementation. We used an experimental vaginal gel with R and hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties. The study aimed to assess the impact of vaginal R-HA gel on the reproductive system in ovariectomized rats. Methods: The study was carried out on Wistar female rats. It investigated the body weight, tail temperature, vaginal pH, estrogen and progesterone blood levels, and immunohistochemical biomarkers (COX2, Casp-3, Bcl-2, and VEGF). Animals were divided into control animals; ovariectomized rats (OVX); and OVX group treated with vaginal 0.5% R-HA gel (0.5%, 0.1 mL, daily 28 days). Results: The R-HA gel’s therapeutic effect was manifested by slowing weight gain by 17% (p < 0.001), less pronounced symptom of fever at the root of the tail by 9% (p < 0.001) and lowering the vaginal pH to 4.4−4.5 compared with OVX rats. The anti-inflammatory effect and the reduction of COX-2 expression in vagina were accompanied by antiapoptotic impact of RA-H on endometrium, associated with the decreased Casp-3 expression (p < 0.001) and elevated Bcl-2 score in endometrial glands (p = 0.01). Together with enhanced VEGF expression in endometrial glands (p < 0.001) and stromal cells (p = 0.007), these changes prevented endometrial atrophy (p < 0.001) after ovariectomy. Thus, this study substantiates the feasibility of developing an innovative topical drug with R and HA for treating hypoestrogenic disorders.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenolic compound detected in grapes, berries, and red wine. The anticancer activities of RSV have been observed in vivo and in vitro studies. However, the pharmacology mechanism of RSV is confusing due to its low bioavailability. According to studies of the metabolic characteristics of RSV, the gut intestine is a crucial site of its health benefits. Dietary RSV exhibits a profound effect on the gut microbiota structure and metabolic function. In addition, emerging evidence demonstrates a protective effect of RSV metabolites against carcinogenesis. Therefore, to better understand the anticancer mechanisms of dietary RSV, it is vital to evaluate the role of RSV-microbiota-host interactions in cancer therapy. In this review, we summarized significant findings on the anticancer activities of RSV based on epidemiological, experimental and clinical studies involved in investigating the metabolic characteristics and the traditional anticancer mechanisms of RSV. Special attention is given to the putative mechanisms involving microbiota-host interactions, such as the modulation of gut microecology and the anticancer effects of RSV metabolites. The changes in microbiota-host interactions after RSV supplementation play vital roles in cancer prevention and thus offering a new perspective on nutritional interventions to treat cancer.

Abstract
NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases (sirtuins 1-7) have been shown to be involved in various pathophysiological conditions including their involvement in cardiovascular, cancerous, neurodegenerative, immune dysregulation and inflammatory conditions. This study investigates the inflammomodulatory potential of resveratrol (RES), a sirtuin activator and sirtinol (SIR), a sirtuin inhibitor in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced model of sickness behaviour in mice. Male Swiss albino mice were divided into five groups (n = 6) consisting of saline (SAL), LPS, RES, SIR, and fluoxetine (FLU) respectively, each group except LPS was prepared by intraperitoneally (i.p.) administration of SAL (10 mL/kg), RES (50 mg/kg), SIR (2 mg/kg) and FLU (10 mg/kg). Thirty minutes after the treatments, all the groups, except SAL were administered LPS (2 mg/kg, i.p.). The behavioural assays including, open field test, forced swim test, and tail suspension tests were conducted 1 h after LPS challenge. LPS administration significantly reduced the locomotor activity along with inducing a state of high immobility and that was prevented by pretreatment with RES and SIR. Further, various proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), and oxidative stress markers (MDA and GSH) were found to be significantly elevated in the brain homogenates after LPS treatment. SIR pretreatment abrogated the LPS-induced neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress changes, whereas RES was only effective in reducing the oxidative stress and TNF-α levels. The results of this study speculate that the role of SIRT modulators in neuroinflammatory conditions could vary with their dose, regimen and chemical properties. Further studies with detailed molecular and pharmacokinetic profiling will be needed to explore their therapeutic potentials.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the lead (Pb)-induced lipid metabolism impairment and its amelioration using plant-based therapeutic interventions. Pb-induced hepatotoxicity can disturb the normal levels of natural antioxidant enzymes including glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) exerting a crucial impact on membrane unsaturated fatty acids (FA), hence leading to lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, Pb toxicity can also alter the regulation of various hormones involved in the synthesis of 3-hydroxy-methyl glutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA reductase), leading to an impairment in normal levels of serum cholesterol and other associated conjugated lipid molecules such HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol. In this study, the lipoprotein fractions, cholesterol, triglyceride (TGs) and biomarkers of liver functions were estimated by employing respective assay kits. The levels of antioxidant enzymes, FFAs and HMG-CoA reductase were determined by employing sandwich ELISA method. The administration of PbAc in experimental rats induced a significant disturbance in lipid profile (P < 0.05) accompanying a significant reduction in natural antioxidant defence system (P < 0.05). The significant alteration in the levels of serum antioxidant enzymes can lead to membrane lipid peroxidation that is reflected by a significantly (P < 0.05) high level of serum MDA in PbAc-induced experimental rats. However, the administration of resveratrol proved therapeutically effective in the treatment of Pb toxicity. Overall, the results of this study accompanying histopathological examination had proved the ameliorating effect of resveratrol in Pb-induced lipid metabolism impairment by adopting vitamin C as a standard therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The beneficial roles of resveratrol (RES) in affecting proliferation of multiple cancer cells have attracted intensive attention. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to bridge the knowledge gap by investigating RES-induced growth inhibition of HeLa cells. Our work focuses on the metergasis of mitochondria in the RES-exposed cells. Therefore, HeLa cells were treated with different concentrations of RES for 30 min and 24 h, respectively. As a result, concentration-dependent increases in cell growth inhibition, ROS (reactive oxygen species) triggering, and LC3-II (light chain 3-II) expression were detected in the HeLa cells exposed to RES for 24 h. Interestingly, a specific concentration-dependent effect was observed in the HeLa cells exposed to RES for 30 min, that is, low concentration RES (≤ 25 μmol/L) reduced ROS levels, inhibited transcription and expression levels of LC3-II, and stimulated mitochondrial respiratory capacities. In contrast, high concentration RES (50 and 100 μmol/L) induced ROS over-production and autophagy in the cells, resulting in decreased levels of mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial DNA copy numbers, and mitochondrial respiratory capacities. Together, our data concluded that RES inhibited HeLa cell proliferation through perturbation of mitochondrial structure and function, and ROS-induced autophagy also played a critical role in the process.

Resveratrol, novel application by preconditioning to attenuate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice through regulate AMPK pathway and autophagy level. J Cell Mol Med 2022; 26:4216-4229. [PMID: 35791579 PMCID: PMC9345293 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI) is the main cause of deaths in the worldwide, leading to severe cardiac dysfunction. Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenol plant-derived compound. Our study aimed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of preconditioning RSV in protecting against MI/RI. Mice were ligated and re-perfused by the left anterior descending branch with or without RSV (30 mg/kg·ip) for 7 days. Firstly, we found that RSV pretreatment significantly alleviated myocardial infarct size, improved cardiac function and decreased oxidative stress. Furthermore, RSV activated p-AMPK and SIRT1, ameliorated inflammation including the level of TNF-α and IL-1β, and promoting autophagy level. Moreover, neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) and H9c2 cells with knockdown the expression of AMPK, SIRT1 or FOXO1 were used to uncover the underlying molecular mechanism for the cardio-protection of RSV. In NRVMs, RSV increased cellular viability, decreased LDH release and reduced oxidative stress. Importantly, Compound C(CpC) and EX527 reversed the effect of RSV against MI/RI in vivo and in vitro and counteracted the autophagy level induced by RSV. Together, our study indicated that RSV could alleviate oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes through activating AMPK/SIRT1-FOXO1 signallingpathway and enhanced autophagy level, thus presenting high potential protection on MI/RI.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 241:113825.

Abstract
Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a major environmental health problem worldwide, and recent studies indicate that maternal PM2.5 exposure is closely associated with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) in offspring. We previously found that supplementation with folic acid (FA) or Resveratrol (RSV) could protect against heart defects in zebrafish embryos exposed to extractable organic matter (EOM) from PM2.5 by targeting aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production respectively. Thus, we hypothesized that FA combined with RSV may have a synergistic protective effect against PM2.5-induced heart defects. To test our hypothesis, we treated zebrafish embryos with EOM in the presence or absence of FA, RSV or a combination of both. We found that RSV and FA showed a clear synergistic protection against EOM-induced heart defects in zebrafish embryos. Further studies showed that FA and RSV suppressed EOM-induced AHR activity and ROS generation respectively. Although only RSV inhibited EOM-induced apoptosis, FA enhanced the inhibitory effect of RSV. Moreover, vitamin C (VC), a typical antioxidant, also exhibits a synergistic inhibitory effect with FA on EOM-induced apoptosis and heart defects. In conclusion, supplementation with FA and RSV have a synergistic protective effect against PM2.5-induced heart defects in zebrafish embryos by targeting AHR activity and ROS production respectively. Our results indicate that, in the presence of antioxidants, FA even at a low concentration level could protect against the high risk of CHDs caused by air pollution.

Abstract
Background: Resveratrol is a polyphenol chemical that naturally occurs in many plant-based dietary products, most notably, red wine. Discovered in 1939, widespread interest in the potential health benefits of resveratrol emerged in the 1970s in response to epidemiological data on the cardioprotective effects of wine. Objective: To explore the background of resveratrol (including its origins, stability, and metabolism), the metabolic effects of resveratrol and its mechanisms of action, and a potential future role of dietary resveratrol in the lifestyle management of obesity. Data sources: We performed a narrative review, based on relevant articles written in English from a Pubmed search, using the following search terms: “resveratrol”, “obesity”, “Diabetes Mellitus”, and “insulin sensitivity”. Results: Following its ingestion, resveratrol undergoes extensive metabolism. This includes conjugation (with sulfate and glucuronate) within enterocytes, hydrolyzation and reduction within the gut through the action of the microbiota (with the formation of metabolites such as dihydroresveratrol), and enterohepatic circulation via the bile. Ex vivo studies on adipose tissue reveal that resveratrol inhibits adipogenesis and prevents the accumulation of triglycerides through effects on the expression of Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ (PPARγ) and sirtuin 1, respectively. Furthermore, resveratrol induces anti-inflammatory effects, supported by data from animal-based studies. Limited data from human-based studies reveal that resveratrol improves insulin sensitivity and fasting glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and may improve inflammatory status in human obesity. Although numerous mechanisms may underlie the metabolic benefits of resveratrol, evidence supports a role in its interaction with the gut microbiota and modulation of protein targets, including sirtuins and proteins related to nitric oxide, insulin, and nuclear hormone receptors (such as PPARγ). Conclusions: Despite much interest, there remain important unanswered questions regarding its optimal dosage (and how this may differ between and within individuals), and possible benefits within the general population, including the potential for weight-loss and improved metabolic function. Future studies should properly address these important questions before we can advocate the widespread adoption of dietary resveratrol supplementation.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is a key factor regulating the systemic pathophysiological effects and one of the fundamental mechanisms associated with aging and fertility deterioration. Previous studies revealed that resveratrol (RV) exhibits a preventive effect against oxidative stress in the ovary. However, it remains unknown whether gut microbiota respond to resveratrol during an OS challenge. In Exp. 1, layers received intraperitoneal injection of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) (0 or 800 μmol/kg BW) or received resveratrol diets (0 or 600 mg/kg) for 28 days. In Exp. 2, the role of intestinal microbiota on the effects of resveratrol on tBHP-induced oxidative stress was assessed through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). The OS challenge reduced the egg-laying rate and exhibited lower pre-hierarchical follicles and higher atretic follicles. Oral RV supplementation ameliorated the egg-laying rate reduction and gut microbiota dysbiosis. RV also reversed the tryptphan-kynurenine pathway, upregulated nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and silent information regulator 1(SIRT1) levels, and decreased the expression of forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) and P53. These findings indicated that the intestinal microbiota-related tryptophan-kynurenine pathway is involved in the resveratrol-induced amelioration of ovary oxidative stress induced by tBHP in the layer model, while SIRT1-P53/FoxO1 and Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway were involved in this process.

Abstract
The nano-sized iron oxide (Fe2O3-NPs) is one of the most used engineered nanomaterials worldwide. This study investigated the efficacy of natural polyphenol resveratrol (RSV) (20 mg/kg b.wt, orally once daily) to alleviate the impaired sperm quality and testicular injury resulting from Fe2O3-NPs exposure (3.5 or 7 mg/kg b.wt, intraperitoneally once a week) for eight weeks. Spermiograms, sexual hormonal levels, oxidative stress indicators, and lipid peroxidation biomarker were assessed. Moreover, the steroidogenesis-related genes mRNA expressions were evaluated. The results showed that RSV substantially rescued Fe2O3-NPs-mediated sperm defects. Additionally, the Fe2O3-NPs-induced depressing effects on sperm motility and viability were markedly counteracted by RSV. Moreover, RSV significantly restored Fe2O3-NPs-induced depletion of testosterone, follicle-stimulated hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testicular antioxidant enzymes but reduced malondialdehyde content. Furthermore, the Fe2O3-NPs-induced downregulation of steroidogenesis-related genes (3 β-HSD, 17 β-HSD, and Nr5A1) was significantly counteracted in the testicular tissue of RSV-treated rats. These findings concluded that RSV could limit the Fe2O3-NPs-induced reduced sperm quality and testicular injury most likely via their antioxidant activity and steroidogenesis-related gene expression modulation.

Abstract
The present study explored the differences in active ingredients and in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of the decoction pieces by integrated processing(IPDP) and traditional processing(TPDP) of Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix(PCRER).The content of polydatin, resveratrol, emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside, emodin, and physcion in IPDP and TPDP was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The inflammation model was induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in RAW264.7 cells.The mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6), and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in 60% ethanol extracts of IPDP and TPDP of different concentrations(5 and 10 μg·mL~(-1)) were determined by PCR.The results showed that the content of polydatin and emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside in IPDP was significantly higher than that in TPDP, while the content of resveratrol, emodin, and physcion was higher in TPDP.The anti-inflammatory results showed that ethanol extracts of IPDP of different concentrations(5 and 10 μg·mL~(-1)) significantly inhibited the increase in the mRNA levels of IL-1β and TNF-α induced by LPS, whereas TPDP only had a significant inhibitory effect on IL-1β.This study preliminarily showed that the total content of five active ingredients in IPDP was higher than that in TPDP, and IPDP was superior to TPDP in anti-inflammatory activity in vitro, which provided an experimental basis for the production and application of IPDP.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) is a widely-known natural polyphenol which is also contained by several dietary supplements. Large doses of RES can result in high micromolar levels of its sulfate and glucuronide conjugates in the circulation, due to the high presystemic metabolism of the parent polyphenol. Pharmacokinetic interactions of RES have been extensively studied, while only limited data are available regarding its metabolites. Therefore, in the current study, we examined the interactions of resveratrol-3-sulfate (R3S), resveratrol-3-glucuronide, and dihydroresveratrol (DHR; a metabolite produced by the colon microbiota) with human serum albumin (HSA), cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, and organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) employing in vitro models. Our results demonstrated that R3S and R3G may play a major role in the RES-induced pharmacokinetic interactions: (1) R3S can strongly displace the site I marker warfarin from HSA; (2) R3G showed similarly strong inhibitory action on CYP3A4 to RES; (3) R3S proved to be similarly strong (OATP1B1/3) or even stronger (OATP1A2 and OATP2B1) inhibitor of OATPs tested than RES, while R3G and RES showed comparable inhibitory actions on OATP2B1.

Abstract
Endotoxemia is a common complication often used to model the acute inflammatory response associated with endotoxemia. Resveratrol has been shown to exert a wide range of therapeutic effects due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study explored the effect of resveratrol on endotoxemia. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia mouse model and endotoxemia myocardial injury cell model were established and treated with resveratrol. Cardiomyocyte activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) content in cell supernatant, glutathione (GSH) consumption, lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and iron accumulation were detected. Cardiac function indexes [left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), ejection fraction (EF)%, and fractional shortening (FS)%] were measured using echocardiography. The creatine kinase muscle/brain isoenzyme (CK-MB) and CK levels in the serum were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The downstream target of miR-149 was predicted, and the binding relationship between miR-149 and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was verified using a dual-luciferase assay. miR-149 and HMGB1 expressions were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blot. After resveratrol treatment, cardiomyocyte viability and GSH were increased, and LDH secretion, lipid ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and iron accumulation were decreased, and cardiac function and cardiomyocyte injury were improved. Resveratrol improved LPS-induced endotoxemia cardiomyocyte injury by upregulating miR-149 and inhibiting ferroptosis. Resveratrol inhibited HMGB1 expression by upregulating miR-149. HMGB1 upregulation reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-149 on LPS-induced ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Resveratrol upregulated miR-149 and downregulated HMGB1 to inhibit ferroptosis and improve myocardial injury in mice with LPS-induced endotoxemia. Collectively, resveratrol upregulated miR-149, downregulated HMGB1, and inhibited the ferroptosis pathway, thus improving cardiomyocyte injury in LPS-induced endotoxemia.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Sepsis is an unusual systemic reaction. Resveratrol is involved in sepsis treatment. This study explored the mechanism of resveratrol in sepsis by regulating the miR-149/HMGB1 axis.

Abstract
Uterus transplantation is a complex surgical procedure. Uterine ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury that occurs during this process may cause a loss of function of the uterus and the failure of transplantation. Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally occurring polyphenol found abundantly in the skin of grapes and red wine, and it has also been used as a dietary supplement in clinical practice. RSV possesses strong anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, and exhibits a role in immune system regulation. However, the role of RSV in protecting the uterus against I/R-induced injury is yet to be fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms underlying RSV in I/R-induced uterus injury. A total of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control (sham operation) group, the uterus I/R group, the 20 mg/kg RSV-pre-treated I/R (I/R+RSV/20) group and the 40 mg/kg RSV-pre-treated I/R (I/R+ RSV/40) group. A regular I/R model was established to induce uterus injury in rats. RSV at 20 or 40 mg/kg was intraperitoneally administrated into rats in both I/R+ RSV groups once per day for five consecutive days prior to ischemia. The control and I/R only groups received an intraperitoneal injection of the vehicle (ethanol) for the same period prior to ischemia. Samples from blood and uterine horns were collected 3 h after reperfusion. Changes in the levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-10 and IL-37 were determined using ELISA, the activity levels of myeloperoxidase, catalase, and superoxidase dismutase were also determined using ELISA, the protein expression levels of PI3K, phosphorylated (p)-PI3K, AKT and p-AKT were determined using western blot analysis, and the uterine histology was investigated using H&E staining. Results of the present study demonstrated that treatment with RSV increased the capacity of antioxidants and suppressed uterine oxidative injury induced by I/R. Moreover, treatment with RSV decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, RSV promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT, thus activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, administration of RSV prior to uterine I/R effectively alleviated inflammatory response and oxidative stress via activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway, suggesting that RSV may play a protective role in I/R-induced uterus injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease is a major cause of global end-stage renal diseases. Ectopic lipid deposition in the renal tissues of diabetic kidney disease is one major factor leading to renal fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. Pterostilbene has been reported to display lipid-lowing activity and participate in many kidney diseases. However, the influence of pterostilbene on the ectopic lipid deposition is unclear. We intend to explore the influence of pterostilbene on the ectopic lipid deposition in the kidney of mice induced by high fat. METHODS A high-fat diet-induced diabetic mouse model was established to detect the alleviative effect of pterostilbene on the ectopic lipid deposition in the kidney of diabetic mice. Biochemical analysis was performed to examine the level of urine albumin, urine creatinine, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in mice after pterostilbene treatment. Histological analysis was conducted to detect the degree of renal injury and fibrosis. Oil red O staining and immunohistochemical staining were carried out to evaluate lipid droplets and the expression of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) in renal tissues of the mice treated by pterostilbene. The protein levels were assessed by western blotting. RESULTS Pterostilbene inhibits the expression of the TGF-β1 and p-smad3 and suppresses the protein levels of SREBP-1 and FAS, and ultimately reduces the ectopic lipid deposition and alleviates the renal tubular damage and renal fibrosis in the kidneys of diabetic mice induced by high fat, and improved kidney function. CONCLUSION Pterostilbene alleviates renal fibrosis and ectopic lipid deposition in the kidneys of diabetic mice induced by high fat diet by inhibiting the TGF-β1/smad3 signaling.
