Resveratrol is a flavonoid polyphenol with high antioxidant activity. Found in many plants. especially mulberry And has received more attention because of its health benefits. Especially in general age-related diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease. and neurological conditions Resveratrol has a beneficial effect on metabolism and can increase the lifespan of various organisms. The effect is due to its ability to interact with multiple molecular targets involved in various intracellular pathways. The best known is resveratrol's ability to stimulate sirtuins. It is a family of NAD + -dependent deacetylases that affect several transcription factors and other protein targets. A large research program has now discovered more effective sirtuin activators. Resveratrol and new compounds are currently undergoing clinical development to determine their safety and suitability for consumers in the prevention and treatment of common diseases of aging.
