“Resveratrol extends the life-span of every species we have fed it to,” said lead researcher Dr David Sinclair, an Associate Professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School. “We are now showing that this is also possible for mice on a high-fat diet,” he added. The researchers found that, among the overweight mice, ‘Resveratrol’ reduced the negative impact of being obese. When the mice were 60 weeks old, those mice receiving ‘Resveratrol’ showed a three to four month increase in survival, compared to mice not receiving the compound. By 114 weeks, when the mice reached old age, more than half of the animals on a high-fat diet alone had died, compared to less than one-third of those receiving ‘Resveratrol’.
