Conclusion : The favourable effect of resveratrol emerging from the current meta- analysis suggests the possible use of this nutraceutical as active compound in order to promote cardiovascular health , mostly when used in high daily dose ( ≥300 mg/day ) and in diabetic patients
ABSTRACT Introduction : Results of previous clinical trials evaluating the effect of  resveratrol supplementation on blood pressure ( BP )  are controversial .
Purpose : We aim ed to assess the impact of resveratrol on BP through systematic review of literature and meta- analysis of available r and omized , controlled clinical trials ( RCTs ) .
The effects of resveratrol supplementation on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) is usually associated with insulin resistance , central obesity , reduced glucose tolerance , type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertriacylglycerolaemia . The beneficial effects of resveratrol on metabolic disorders have been shown previously . The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of resveratrol supplementation on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with NAFLD . In this r and omised double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial , fifty NAFLD patients were supplemented with either a 500-mg resveratrol capsule or a placebo capsule for 12 weeks . Both groups were advised to follow an energy-balanced diet and physical activity recommendations . resveratrol supplementation reduced alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ) and hepatic steatosis significantly more than placebo ( P0·05 ) . There were no significant changes in blood pressure , insulin resistance markers and TAG in either group ( P>0·05 ) . Our data have shown that 12-week supplementation of 500 mg resveratrol does not have any beneficial effect on anthropometric measurements , insulin resistance markers , lipid profile and blood pressure ; however , it reduced ALT and hepatic steatosis in patients with NAFLD
Conclusion : The favourable effect of resveratrol emerging from the current meta- analysis suggests the possible use of this nutraceutical as active compound in order to promote cardiovascular health , mostly when used in high daily dose ( ≥300 mg/day ) and in diabetic patients
