Resveratrol and Inflammation

Resveratrol is a polyphenol (anti-oxidant) found in grape skins and with its confirmation as an active ingredient in red wines. The world soon learned that the French paradox is all about the red wine that figure prominently in the meals of French and many European peoples who, despite consuming the same or higher fat diet that brought millions of American to suffer many deadly health problems, have remained healthy and love longer lives.

Various researches have brought to light Resveratrol’s versatile health and therapeutic promises such as anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammation properties, to mention the major ones that opens the way for future new treatment for many of our deadly diseases.

Research Findings: Resveratrol vs Inflammation

A recent study on lab rats found that Resveratrol inhibited the production of sphingosine kinase and phospholipase D, two compounds known to spur inflammatory conditions. The researchers have concluded that this finding point to Resveratrol’s potential as an alternative cure for inflammatory systemic disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Another test conducted by a team of researchers from an academe at the Inonu University in Turkey showed Resveratrol’s potential therapeutic effect on caustic esophageal burns (CEB) by controlling the inflammatory reacting with certain enzymes in the esophageal tract.

A test conducted in Scotland and Singapore and published in the August 2009 issue of The FASEB Journal unraveled Resveratrol’s knockout punch on inflammation in lab rats treated with systemic sepsis. Researchers concluded that Resveratrol promises a novel therapy in treating acute inflammatory diseases like appendicitis, peritonitis and systemic sepsis. While lupus has not been indicated in the study, the results pave the way of similar studies to focus on the similarly inflammatory lupus Erythematosus.

All these tests should spur subsequent clinical trials on the attaining the same positive results in human patients as all these studies were conducted to lab animals, particularly mice.
