Abstract

Obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia constitute risk factors for morbidity and premature mortality. Based on animal and in vitro studies, resveratrol reverts these risk factors via stimulation of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), but data in human subjects are scarce. The objective of this study was to examine the metabolic effects of high-dose resveratrol in obese human subjects. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, and parallel-group design, 24 obese but otherwise healthy men were randomly assigned to 4 weeks of resveratrol or placebo treatment. Extensive metabolic examinations including assessment of glucose turnover and insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp) were performed before and after the treatment. Insulin sensitivity, the primary outcome measure, deteriorated insignificantly in both groups. Endogenous glucose production and the turnover and oxidation rates of glucose remained unchanged. Resveratrol supplementation also had no effect on blood pressure; resting energy expenditure; oxidation rates of lipid; ectopic or visceral fat content; or inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers. The lack of effect disagrees with persuasive data obtained from rodent models and raises doubt about the justification of resveratrol as a human nutritional supplement in metabolic disorders.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In Poulsen et al.'s trial, resveratrol 500 mg three times daily for 4 weeks in obese men with moderate insulin resistance had no effect on glucose homeostasis, HbA1c, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, blood pressure, total body fat mass, resting energy expenditure, or glucose/lipid oxidation rate.

    “At the end of the study, the authors found no effects on glucose homeostasis, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, blood pressure, total body fat mass, resting energy expenditure, glucose or lipid oxidation rate.”

  • Poulsen et al. concluded that resveratrol has no effects in obese patients with moderate insulin-resistance.

    “Based on these results, they concluded that resveratrol has no effects in obese patients with moderate insulin-resistance [36].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
