In vitro EPC proliferation with resveratrol leaves open any human cardiovascular benefit; in vivo trials required before clinical consideration.
Does resveratrol improve proliferation, migration, and vasculogenesis in human endothelial progenitor cells in vitro?
Resveratrol significantly induces endothelial progenitor cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in vitro, suggesting a potential mechanism for its cardiovascular benefits.
Wang et al. (2007) studied this question.
