BACKGROUND: Resveratrol is a phytoalexin with beneficial effects on human health. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of resveratrol on endothelial dysfunction involved in insulin signaling and inflammation. METHODS: Endothelial cells were stimulated with palmitate (PA) to induce insulin resistance characterized by a loss of insulin-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production. Diabetes was induced in rats by fructose feeding. The effects of resveratrol and the mechanisms involved were investigated using an aortic relaxation assay and Western blot analysis. RESULTS: In endothelial cells, 0.1-10 mumol/L resveratrol suppressed IkappaB kinase beta (IKKbeta)/nuclear factor-kappaB phosphorylation, as well as tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 production, and restored the insulin receptor substrate-1 (Irs-1)/Akt/endothelial NO synthase signaling pathway. Furthermore, resveratrol effectively inhibited the mitogenic actions of insulin by decreasing the secretion of endothelin-1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. It also positively regulated AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activation, which contributed to the inhibition of inflammation implicated in endothelial insulin resistance. Stimulation with PA and long term-fructose feeding impaired insulin-mediated vessel dilation in rat aorta, whereas pretreatment of aortic rings with resveratrol (0.1-10 mumol/L) or treatment of rats with 5 or 20 mg/kg resveratrol counteracted these changes. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that resveratrol inhibits inflammation and facilitates insulin phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling by beneficial modulation of IRS-1 function partly via regulation of AMPK and SIRT1 activity in the endothelium.
