In this study, researchers from The Catholic University of Korea St. Mary’s Hospital evaluated the immunosuppressive effects of resveratrol — that is, it’s ability to decrease TH17 responses in tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. The results of their study were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that resveratrol provides additional immunosuppressive effects to Tac by suppressing effector CD4+ T cells, especially Th17 cells, in a transplantation setting.
