Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Postmenopausal women with diagnosed stable coronary artery disease eligible for participation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients unlikely to benefit include those with unstable CAD, thyroid disorders, hepatic or renal failure, or on hormone replacement therapy or insulin.

What this trial studies
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assesses the effects of daily trans-resveratrol 1000 mg for 90 days on serum estradiol and estrone, and on gene expression of estrogen receptor alpha/beta and sirtuins 1/3 in 80 postmenopausal women with CAD. Participants are randomly assigned to resveratrol or placebo and undergo clinical, nutritional, and laboratory assessments. The trial is conducted at InCor Heart Institute and affiliated centers in São Paulo, Brazil. Outcomes may clarify whether resveratrol influences hormonal and metabolic pathways in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, resveratrol could offer a new approach to modulating hormonal and metabolic markers in postmenopausal women with CAD.
How similar studies have gone: Prior research suggests resveratrol can affect metabolic and vascular markers, but its effects on estrogen receptors and sirtuins in this population are not well established.
