 | | Besides inhibiting proliferation, resveratrol was also shown to induce apoptosis through one of two pathways (inducing Fas-dependent apoptosis in some cell lines, and Fas-independent apoptosis in others) in b-cell and t-cell lymphomas; myeloid leukemia; breast, colon, pancreas, stomach, prostate, thyroid and head and neck, ovary, liver, lung, and cervical cancers; and melanoma. |
