Abstract
Resveratrol is a stylbenic poliphenolic molecule extracted from the skin of red grape and Polygonum cuspidatum which exerts many biological activity in human health maintenance. Resveratrol is one of the most effective phyestrogen in nature and is capable to reduce effectively signs and symptoms of menopausa such as hot flash and skin degradation. Resveratrol has been proven to be really effective in the prevention of several cardiovascular diseases reducing ateromatic lesions and lowering LDL cholesterol. Many biochemical and clinical investigations clarified that Resveratrol is capable to inhibit cancer cells growth activating specific enzymes (caspases) inducing apoptosis. This paper describes Resveratrol pharmacology and take into account the most recent scientific investigations and data regarding its application in medicine and health care.
