Antioxidant Effect of <i>Trans</i> -Resveratrol in Cultured Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells

Abstract

Our results indicate that treatment of RPE cells with resveratrol at micromolar concentrations confers a marked protection against oxidative stress. These data suggest that dietary supplementation of resveratrol may contribute to the prevention of RPE degeneration induced by oxidative stress.
