Outcome: This influential study demonstrated that resveratrol significantly improved the health and survival of mice fed a high-calorie diet. The treated mice had increased insulin sensitivity, increased mitochondrial number, and improved motor function. Link to Study

Outcome: While primarily a human study, it's relevant because it found that resveratrol supplementation resulted in metabolic changes in obese individuals that mimicked those of calorie restriction, a well-known lifespan-extending intervention. Link to Study

Outcome: In this study with mice, resveratrol was shown to improve healthspan by delaying age-related deterioration. Link To Study

 Park, S. J., Ahmad, F., Philp, A., et al. (2012). Resveratrol ameliorates ageing-related metabolic phenotypes by inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterases. Cell, 148(3), 421-433.

Outcome: Resveratrol's benefits were linked to its inhibition of certain phosphodiesterases, leading to increased cAMP levels. The changes induced by resveratrol in mice mimicked those due to calorie restriction. Link to Study
