Red Wine Ingredient Increases Endurance, Study Shows

Red Wine Ingredient Increases Endurance, Study Shows - New York Times: "A drug already shown to reverse the effects of obesity in mice and make them live longer has now been shown to increase their endurance as well. An ordinary laboratory mouse will run one kilometer on a treadmill before collapsing from exhaustion. But mice given resveratrol, a minor component of red wine and other foods, run twice as far. They also have energy-charged muscles and a reduced heart rate, just as trained athletes do, according to an article published online in Cell by Johan Auwerx and colleagues at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Illkirch, France."
