Inhibition of glucose and dehydroascorbic acid uptakes by resveratrol in human transformed myelocytic cells

Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural phytochemical found in grapes and wine. Numerous biological effects of resveratrol have been reported in the last 10 years. In this paper, the competitive inhibition of intracellular uptake of glucose and dehydroascorbic acid in U937 and HL-60 cells by resveratrol is reported.
