A group of American researchers are taking a second look in order to find how resveratrol actually affects the biological working of the body cells.

The researchers found that the compound tricked the proteins into believing that the cells were deprived of energy and thereby increasing the production of energy-producing proteins, leading to hopes that it can be used in treating Alzheimer’s, diabetes and heart diseases.
However the researchers did not find any evidence that the compound increased the lifespan as previously thought. The study has been published in the journal Cell.
