Resveratrol and esophageal cancer:
Resveratrol was found to suppress the growth of esophageal cancer cells by inducing apoptosis (cell death) in a dose and time dependent way (6).
Resveratrol and heart health:
Resveratrol and myocardial infarction:
Fukuda, S et al found evidence that resveratrol promotes angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) from pre-existing vessels in the ischemic heart (restriction in blood supply to tissues). Authors used a rat myocardial infarction (MI) or heart attack model and pretreated it with resveratrol. Following 3 weeks after MI occurred, a significant increase in angiogenesis mechanisms was observed. (7)
