Resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin contained in a variety of plants, such as grapes, berries and especially in the dried roots of Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc. It has been shown to exhibit anti-oxidative and anti-inflammation activity, and to reverse the effects of
BACKGROUND
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant intracranial tumour that develops in both adults and children. Microarray gene analyses have confirmed that the human YKL-40 gene is one of the most over-expressed genes in these tumours but not in normal brain tissue. Clinical studies
Neuroblastoma is the most common pediatric extracranial solid tumor with a broad spectrum of clinical behavior and poor prognosis. Despite intensive multimodal therapy, ongoing clinical trials, and basic science investigations, neuroblastoma remains a complex medical challenge with a long-term
The natural phytoalexin resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) exhibits both chemopreventive and antitumor activities through a variety of mechanisms. We have shown previously that resveratrol-induced apoptosis of a human colon cancer cell line involved the redistribution of CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) into
Extensive research within the last decade has revealed that most chronic illnesses such as cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, neurological diseases, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases exhibit dysregulation of multiple cell signaling pathways that have been linked to inflammation. Thus
Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in the United States, and multiple exposures to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation (particularly its UV-B component, 290-320 nm), is its major cause. 'Chemoprevention' by naturally occurring agents is being appreciated as a newer
Resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a nonflavonoid polyphenol that naturally occurs as phytoalexin. It is produced by plant sources such as grapes, apples, blueberries, plums, and peanut. This compound has critical roles in human health and is well known for its diverse biological
BACKGROUND
Numerous epidemiological and animal studies have shown that consumption of red wine is related to reduced incidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Trans-resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene), a phenolic compound present in wine, has been reported to have a potential cancer
