The journey of resveratrol from yeast to human
نویسندگان
چکیده
The natural polyphenolic compound resveratrol was first discovered in the 1940s. In the recent years, this compound received renewed interest as several findings implicated resveratrol as a potent SIRT1 activator capable of mimicking the effects of calorie restriction, and regulating longevity in lower organisms. Given the worldwide increase in age-related metabolic diseases the beneficial effects of resveratrol on metabolism and healthy aging in humans are currently a topic of intense investigation.

Yeast has been a very helpful organism for centuries, especially with respect to fermentation of sugars and production of bread. However, for an even longer time, yeast has been a distant relative of humans having diverged from a common ancestor, about one billion years ago. More than one third of the yeast genes have human counterparts, despite this evolutionary distance. Yeast and human ortho...
متن کاملP-156: Survey of In Vitro Effect of Resveratrol on Apoptosis of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells
Background: In apoptosis is physiological cell death which eliminates injured and old cells. Any disruption in apoptosis, leads to disease. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with estrogen-like, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties; also it showed cell prolifratory and inhibitory effect. The aim of present study was to determine resveratrol effect on apoptosis of human endometrial epith...
متن کاملP-113: Survey of In Vitro Effect of Resveratrol on Nitric Oxide Secretion of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells
Background: Resveratrol is a natural polyphe- nolic compound, synthesized by plants as a phytoalexin and protects against ultraviolet radiation and fungal infection. Nitric oxide is formed from L-arginine through nitric oxide synthases (NOS), a group of enzymes that structurally resemble cytochrome P-450 reductase. In females, circulating NO is increased during follicle development and decrease...
متن کاملResveratrol impaired the morphological transition of Candida albicans under various hyphae-inducing conditions.
The ability of the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans to undergo the morphological transition from a single yeast form to pseudohyphal and hyphal forms in response to various conditions is known to be an important for its virulence. Many studies have shown the pharmacological effects of resveratrol, a phytoalexin polyphenolic compound. In this study, we investigated the antifungal activity ...
