How does resveratrol control inflammation?

Scientists at Glasgow have shown how resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in red wine, works as an effective therapy for life-threatening inflammation.

The study explains resveratrol’s impact on inflammation as well as how it, or a derivative, can be used to treat potentially deadly inflammatory disease, such as appendicitis, peritonitis and systemic sepsis.

The findings have been published in the print edition of The FASEB Journal which belongs to the Federation of the American Societies for Experimental Biology.
