Effect of resveratrol on red blood cell deformability.

	Baseline		3rd month
	Resveratrol (EI)	Placebo (EI)	Resveratrol (EI)	Placebo (EI)
Shear stress
30 (Pa)	0.619 ± 0.003	0.623 ± 0.001	0.621 ± 0.002	0.623 ± 0.001
3 (Pa)	0.415 ± 0.004	0.420 ± 0.003	0.414 ± 0.004	0.422 ± 0.003
0.3 (Pa)	0.008 ± 0.009	0.009 ± 0.006	0.005 ± 0.007	0.009 ± 0.006

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. There was no difference in the EI values at any shear stresses between the placebo, resveratrol baseline, and 3^rd month groups. Baseline: measured values at randomization in the resveratrol or placebo group; 3^rd month: patients treated with resveratrol or placebo for 3 months. EI: elongation index; Pa: pascal.
