Nothing in here tells us how much red wine we should be drinking on a daily basis for neuroprotection. Ask you doctor to complete such studies. Inquiring minds want to know, I need to know if I have to increase my intake or I'm already good.

Abstract: Previous studies have shown positive effects of long‐term resveratrol (RSV) supplementation in preventing pancreatic beta cell dysfunction, arterial stiffening and metabolic decline induced by high‐fat/high‐sugar (HFS) diet in nonhuman primates. Here, the analysis was extended to examine whether RSV may reduce dietary stress toxicity in the cerebral cortex of the same cohort of treated animals. Middle‐aged male rhesus monkeys were fed for 2 years with HFS
alone or combined with RSV, after which whole‐genome microarray analysis of cerebral cortex tissue was carried out along with ELISA, immunofluorescence, and biochemical analyses to examine markers of vascular health and inflammation in the cerebral cortices. A number of genes and pathways that were differentially modulated in these dietary interventions indicated an exacerbation of neuroinflammation (e.g., oxidative stress markers, apoptosis, NF‐κB activation) in HFS‐fed
animals and protection by RSV treatment. The decreased expression of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, dysregulation in endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and reduced capillary density induced by HFS stress were rescued by RSV supplementation. Our results suggest that long‐term RSV treatment confers neuroprotection against cerebral vascular dysfunction during nutrient stress.
