MARCH REVIEW…GREAT STUDIES
Stroke protection--a
rat study was done where 2 arteries to the brain of each rat were tied off
simulating a stroke and beginning one hour after that blockage of blood flow
half of the rats were given Resveratrol for 7 days. Behavioral testing was then done on days 30
and 45 after tying off the arteries. At
the end of thestudy, the rats were sacrificed and the brains examined. There was less loss of brain tissue in the
Resveratrol group. they also performed much more effectively
during the memory function testing.
There was a definite neuro protective effect in the rat's on Resveratrol. PMID 24620966
Skin protection--half
of a group of guinea pigs was given as Resveratrol and the other half a
placebo. They were all exposed to
ultraviolet B light and the changes in pigmentation were then studied in both
groups. The Resveratrol modified melanin
synthesis and acted as depigmentation agent.
This has promise in dealing with ultraviolet induced skin disorders such as
hyperpigmentation and skin photo aging.

Bladder cancer--bladder
cancer has been as high as a 50% recurrence rate following treatment of the
initial cancer. A variety of treatments
to lower the risk of recurrence have been studied including chemotherapy agents
placed into the bladder and dietary supplements to include antioxidant
vitamins. In this study a group of my
case was divided in half. Half received
short term mesenteric hole placed directly into the bladder daily and all the
mice were then exposed to chemical which causes formation of bladder cancer. The liver is very full treated mice had a
much lower rate of cancer onset in those which did develop cancer had tumors
which were more slowly and were smaller.
