Resveratrol specificity evaluation

Next we evaluated a series of resveratrol analogs and catechins for their ability to compete for specific [3H]-resveratrol binding in PII fraction. Interestingly, polyphenols that display neuroprotective action are the most potent ones to compete for specific [3H]-resveratrol binding with K values ranging from 25 nM (for EGCG) to 102 nM (for resveratrol), whereas molecules including EC and EGC were inactive. 

Specificity There were two ways to evaluate specificity of resveratrol as a biomarker of wine consumption. The first was to assess whether most dietary resveratrol is contributed by wine. Such investigation was carried out in a Spanish adult cohort with...
