Resveratrol Reduces Fat Produced in Liver

TAMPA, Fla.—The accumulation of fat in the liver as a result of chronic alcohol consumption could be prevented by consuming resveratrol, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology. The research found that resveratrol reduced the amount of fat produced in the liver of mice fed alcohol and, at the same time, increased the rate at which fat within the liver is broken down.
