Suppression of prostate cancer progression in transgenic mice by resveratrol was reported [24]. Male mice with transgenic adenocarcinoma of the prostate were fed resveratrol (625 mg resveratrol/kg AIN-76A diet) and phytoestrogen-free control diet (AIN-76A) starting at 5 weeks of age. Mechanisms of action and histopathologic studies were conducted at 12 and 28 weeks of age, respectively. Resveratrol in the diet significantly reduced the incidence of poorly differentiated prostatic adenocarcinoma 

Biological and preclinical activity of resveratrol has been recently reviewed [25].
