Distribution of unmetabolized resveratrol in plasma (nmol/mL), various organs (nmol/g of tissue), urine (nmol/mL), and feces (nmol/g wet content) of mice at different time-points following the intragastric administration of a single dose of 10 mg/kg resveratrol. Maximum concentrations (Cmax values) are in bold.
