Autophagy Activation by Resveratrol Reduces Severity of Experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Dietary supplementation with resveratrol induces the noncanonical autophagy pathway and limits the cross-talk with inflammation, which in consequence modulates the synovial hyperplasia. Preventive strategies that incorporate dietary intervention with resveratrol may offer a potential therapeutic alternative to drugs to influence the risk of rheumatoid arthritis and influence its course.
