SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Resveratrol blunts the positive effects of exercise training on cardiovascular health in aged men.
Abstract summarizedQuality not appraised
- What was studied
- This randomized study asked whether resveratrol enhances cardiovascular and fitness adaptations to high-intensity exercise training in older men.
- Who / model studied
- Twenty-seven healthy, physically inactive older men, averaging 65 years, were randomized to resveratrol or placebo.
- Studied dose & schedule
- Participants took 250 mg trans-resveratrol or placebo daily while completing eight weeks of high-intensity exercise training.
- What the study found
- The placebo group’s VO2max increase was 45% greater. Only placebo reduced mean arterial pressure, and resveratrol abolished favorable exercise effects on LDL, triglycerides and the total-cholesterol/HDL ratio.
- Limitations & context
- This eight-week study was small, male-only and limited to healthy inactive older adults; the abstract does not report adverse-event or adherence details.
