Usage / Application
Substantial studies demonstrate that pterostilbene has diverse pharmacological activities for the prevention and treatment of diseases including inflammation, cancer, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
Pterostilbene has been used:
to investigate its anti-oxidative stress activities and the involvement of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway
to determine its effects on transcriptional activation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) in hormone resistant breast cancer cells)
