Abstract

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound with reported anti-aging properties that exhibit complex and context-dependent biological effects, while its potential multigenerational influence remains unclear.

Research summary

Resveratrol extends lifespan and exerts multigenerational effects in Drosophila through stage- and sex-specific epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms. This study provides mechanistic insight into how a known geroprotector influences aging trajectories and transgenerational inheritance in a model organism, contributing to the understanding of dietary interventions on longevity.
