Abstract

In Apc(Min) mice (an animal model of colorectal carcinogenesis) fed a high-fat diet, low doses of resveratrol suppress intestinal adenoma development more potently than high doses do; however, these findings appear affected by multiple confounding factors, as resveratrol alone added to a standard diet has opposite outcomes.
