'''Resveratrol''' is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound that has garnered significant attention in the scientific community for its potential role in promoting human longevity and healthspan. This compound is found in various plants, where it acts as a line of defense against stressors such as infection or ultraviolet radiation. For that reason, it is considered as an [[Xenohormesis|xenohormetic compound]].

Resveratrol is a type of natural phenol, and a phytoalexin produced by several plants in response to injury or when the plant is under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Its molecular formula is C₁₄H₁₂O₃, and it belongs to a class of compounds known as stilbenes.

The potential of resveratrol to impact longevity stems from its ability to modulate several biological pathways that are implicated in the aging process. It is renowned for its [[Antioxidant|antioxidant]] and anti-inflammatory properties, which can mitigate the damaging effects of oxidative stress and inflammation, two key contributors to aging and age-related diseases. Additionally, resveratrol is known to activate sirtuins, a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cellular health and longevity.

=== Discovery of Resveratrol ===
Resveratrol was first identified in 1939 by Michio Takaoka from the roots of the white hellebore (''Veratrum grandiflorum''). However, it gained significant attention in the 1990s when its presence was discovered in red wine, suggesting a possible explanation for the French Paradox – the observation that French people have a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet rich in saturated fats.

One of the mechanisms by which resveratrol is thought to impact aging is by mimicking the effects of [[Caloric Restriction|caloric restriction]], a well-known intervention for extending lifespan.

A recent study {{pmid|37447275}} in a [[Randomized Controlled Trial|randomized trial]] involving adults aged 55 to 65 compared the effects of resveratrol supplementation to a caloric-restricted diet. Both interventions raised circulating SIRT1 levels and reduced plasma noradrenaline, suggesting cardiovascular benefits. However, the study found differences between the groups in vascular reactions. Specifically, improvements in [[Nitrate-Mediated Vasodilation (NMD)|nitrate-mediated vasodilation (NMD)]] were seen only with caloric restriction, not with resveratrol. Additionally, SIRT1 was linked to enhanced flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) in men but not in women. This suggests that while resveratrol mirrors some benefits of caloric restriction, it doesn't capture all, especially regarding vascular effects.

After consumption, 77-80% of resveratrol gets absorbed into the bloodstream through active transport via the intestinal epithelial cells. Once in the bloodstream, it associates with albumin and lipoproteins. Despite its efficient absorption, resveratrol possesses a short half-life of around 1.5 hours. This is attributed to its rapid absorption in the intestine and subsequent degradation in the liver. A significant amount of ingested resveratrol, approximately 49–61%, is eventually excreted through urine. {{#pmid:30816367|pmid30816367}}
