Resceratrol: Now its Radiation Protection?

In a seemingly endless string of research into the potential health benefits of resveratrol, new research from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh shows that resveratrol, when altered with acetyl, protected cells from radiation in mouse models. The study was led by Joel Greenberger, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

This new research adds to resveratrol's reputation as a compond with an expanding universe of health benefits. In other unrelated research resveratrol has already been shown to have potential in many diseases of the aging.
