Abstract

Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystillbene) is a natural phytoalexin present in grapes, fruits, peanuts and red wine. Resveratrol has been reported cancer chemopreventive effects. The aim of the present study was to further elucidate the possible mechanisms by which resveratrol exerts its anti-prolifrtative action in human prostate cancer PC-3 cell line.(omitted)
