Abstract: (27 Views)
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Recently, researchers have become interested in identifying nutritional supplements that can improve risk factors for these conditions. Intima-media thickness is recognized as a key risk factor for cardiovascular events. Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound that has been extensively studied for its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties, as well as its potential role in the treatment of chronic diseases. Although studies directly investigating the effect of resveratrol on intima-media thickness are limited, related factors have been investigated in animal and human studies.
Method: This narrative review examines the evidence on the association between resveratrol and factors related to vascular intima-media thickness, and discusses the proposed mechanisms underlying this association.
Results: In general, research indicates that resveratrol reduces intima thickness, potentially by modulating cellular senescence and its antioxidant properties.
Conclusion: No human studies have directly examined the effect of this polyphenol on intima-media thickness, and further studies in this area are recommended.
