This image shows the mechanism of action of Resveratrol (RSV) and its biological effects in the body. It can be explained biologically as follows:
Central Mechanism: Pathway Stimulation AMPK–SIRT1–PGC1α
When the body receives resveratrol (RSV), it:
1. Activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), an enzyme that acts as an energy sensor in cells.
When intracellular energy is low, AMPK is activated to increase energy production and reduce unnecessary energy expenditure.
2. Stimulate SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1)
It is a protein in the sirtuin family which is involved in delaying aging, DNA repair, and regulating metabolism.
SIRT1 activity can be stimulated by AMPK.
3. Stimulate PGC-1α (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha).
It is a regulator of the creation of new mitochondria. (mitochondrial biogenesis)
As a result, the mitochondria work better. Both energy production (ATP) and free radical elimination
Results from stimulation Mitochondrial Biogenesis
Stimulating this pathway by resveratrol results in various benefits:
Metabolic and energy aspects:
Antioxidant: Reduces the generation of free radicals (ROS) through increasing the efficiency of mitochondria.
Anti-obesity: Helps accelerate energy metabolism. Reduce fat accumulation
Anti-diabetic: increases insulin sensitivity. Balancing blood sugar
Chronic disease prevention:
Anti-cancer: Inhibits cancer cell division through regulating cells and various signals.
Cardiovascular protection: Prevent heart disease and blood vessels. Reduce inflammation in blood vessels
Erectile dysfunction treatment: Enhances blood flow, especially through the nitric oxide (NO) pathway, corrects erectile dysfunction in men.
Anti-aging and nervous system:
Anti-aging: Slow down cell degeneration from oxidative stress.
Neuroprotection: Protects brain cells from stress and free radicals.
Anti-inflammatory: inhibits inflammation at the cellular level. which is related to many chronic diseases
Summary overview:
Resveratrol is a natural substance that stimulates AMPK–SIRT1–PGC1α → promotes mitochondrial biogenesis → affects health in many ways, such as preventing diabetes, cancer, obesity, cardiovascular disease. Diseases related to the brain, reduce inflammation and delay aging.
