Check out
Nicholas Wade's article in today's NY Times. It includes mention of the report in a
PLoS ONE article by Prolla and Weindruch's group here at Wisconsin that both caloric restriction and low amounts of resveratrol (near the amount of resveratrol and resveratrol-like compounds found in a 5 ounce glass of red wine) are sufficient to inhibit gene expression profiles associated with cardiac and skeletal muscle aging, and prevent age-related cardiac dysfunction. Dietary resveratrol also mimics the effects of caloric restriction in insulin mediated glucose uptake in muscle.
