PMID: 17875315

From the abstract:

"To probe this mechanism further, we initiated a new study of the effects of resveratrol on Drosophila. We saw no significant effects on lifespan in seven independent trials. We analysed our resveratrol and found that its structure was normal, with no oxidative modifications.", and:

"We ..... re-tested the effects of resveratrol in [nematodes] ....... . The results were variable, with resveratrol treatment resulting in slight increases in lifespan in some trials but not others. .......... "
