Figure 5. Resveratrol decreased intracellular levels of R5P.

Figure 5

R5P is a pentose phosphate pathway intermediate, an important marker for anabolism (nucleotide biosynthesis). Approximately 20–25% decrease in intracellular levels of R5P in HeLa and HepG2 was observed upon 50 µM resveratrol treatment. However, there was an insignificant decrease of around 5% in MCF-7 cells (see text). Results indicated inhibited anabolism following resveratrol treatment. All experiments were repeated 3 times. Values are expressed as mean ± SE. *p<0.05.
