As a consequence of chronic hyperglycemia, diabetes complications and tissue damage are exacerbated. There is evidence that natural phytochemicals, including resveratrol, bioactive polyphenol, may be able to reduce oxidative stress improve insulin sensitivity. However, resveratrol's limited bioavailability hampers its therapeutic effectiveness. By using liposomes, resveratrol better delivered into the body more bioavailable. The objective this study was assess cardioprotective potential...
