“…This compound, also known as 3,5,4 0 -trihydroxystilbene, is a naturallyoccurring phytoalexin that is found in multiple plant sources . In multiple models of neurological injury including stroke (Wang et al, 2002;West et al, 2007), spinal cord injury (Ates et al, 2006;Kaplan et al, 2005;Kiziltepe et al, 2004;Yang and Piao, 2003), epilepsy (Gupta et al, 2002a;2002b;Wu et al, 2009), and Huntington's disease (Parker et al, 2005), resveratrol has demonstrated efficacy in reducing neuropathological and behavioral sequelae. Some studies have also found that traumatic brain injury (TBI) in both adult (Ates et al, 2007) and immature (Sonmez et al, 2007) animals is amenable to treatment with resveratrol, although behavioral protection has not yet been demonstrated in adult models of TBI.…”
