Abstract: Resveratrol (Res), a polyphenol found in red wine, has been shown to
decelerate aging, the progressive loss of physiological integrity and cellular senescence,
characterized by the inability to progress through the cell cycle. No successful clinical
trials have yet to be completed in humans on dose limitations. Yet, the potent anti-aging
and anti-senescence efficacy of Res has been documented in several in vivo animal
models. In this review, we highlight the molecular mechanisms of Res efficacy in antiaging
disorders, such as diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, eye diseases, and
cardiovascular diseases.
