A new insight into the reason for aging has been gained by scientists trying to understand how resveratrol, a minor ingredient of red wine, improves the health and lifespan of laboratory mice. They believe that the integrity of chromosomes is compromised as people age, and that resveratrol works by activating proteins known as sirtuins that restore the chromosomes to health. [Read]

Red Wine Drug Extends Lifespan?
A drug based on an ingredient in red wine is being developed:
For the first time, scientists have proof in human subjects that a derivative of an ingredient in red wine combats some symptoms of aging. Sirtris Pharmaceuticals announced the results here on Monday at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference.
Resveratol, naturally found in red wine, stimulates a gene known as SIRT1, which has been linked with extended lifespans in rodents. The new study is the first time similar effects have been replicated in humans. [Read]
The drug, being developed by Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, is to help diabetics lower their blood sugar.
Why not just drink the wine? It offers far more joy than one ingredient.
Cheers. And make sure there is a glass of red wine with dinner tonight.
