Overall , the current meta- analysis demonstrated that resveratrol intake significantly reduced weight , BMI , WC and fat mass , and significantly increased lean mass , but did not affect leptin and adiponectin levels
Abstract This systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) was conducted to summarize the effect of resveratrol intake on weight loss .
One-year supplementation with a grape extract containing resveratrol modulates inflammatory-related microRNAs and cytokines expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of type 2 diabetes and hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease.
Numerous studies have shown that resveratrol ( RES ) exerts anti-inflammatory effects but human trials evidencing these effects in vivo are limited . Furthermore , the molecular mechanisms triggered in humans following the oral intake of RES are not yet understood . Therefore , the purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( P BMC s ) associated to the one-year daily intake of a RES enriched ( 8 mg ) grape extract ( GE-RES ) in hypertensive male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) . We used microarrays and RT-PCR to analyze expression changes in genes and microRNAs ( miRs ) involved in the inflammatory response modulated by the consumption of GE-RES in comparison to a placebo and GE lacking RES . We also examined the changes in several serobiochemical variables , inflammatory and fibrinolytic markers . Our results showed that supplementation with GE or GE-RES did not affect body weight , blood pressure , glucose , HbA1c or lipids , beyond the values regulated by gold st and ard medication in these patients . We did not find either any significant change on serum inflammatory markers except for a significant reduction of ALP and IL-6 levels . The expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines CCL3 , IL-1β and TNF-α was significantly reduced and that of the transcriptional repressor LRRFIP-1 increased in P BMC s from patients taking the GE-RES extract . Also , a group of miRs involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response : miR-21 , miR-181b , miR-663 , miR-30c2 , miR-155 and miR-34a were found to be highly correlated and altered in the group consuming the GE-RES for 12 months . Our results provide preliminary evidence that long-term supplementation with a grape extract containing RES downregulates the expression of key pro-inflammatory cytokines with the involvement of inflammation-related miRs in circulating immune cells of T2DM hypertensive medicated patients and support a beneficial immunomodulatory effect in these patients
