Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, are unraveling the details of what resveratrol really does in mammals.
This natural compound has been reported to help creatures live longer, run farther and avoid obesity. But applying the findings from rodents to humans has been tricky.
Resveratrol is known as a compound from red wine, but it is also found in cacao beans, knotweed and other plants.
The Scripps investigators discovered that resveratrol partners with an enzyme that connects tyrosine to RNA. This seems to be protective under stressful conditions.
The combination of resveratrol and the enzyme enters the nucleus and stimulates DNA repair. This might eventually prove to have activity against cancer as well as helping promote longevity.
