Resveratrol has been reported to have potent anti-atherosclerotic effects in animal studies. However, there are few interventional studies in human patients with atherosclerogenic diseases. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) reflects arterial stiffness and is a clinical surrogate marker of atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of resveratrol on arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, 50 patients with T2DM received supplement of a 100mg resveratrol tablet (total resveratrol: oligo-stilbene 27.97 mg/100 mg/day) or placebo daily for 12 weeks. CAVI was assessed at baseline and the end of study. Body weight (BW), blood pressure (BP), glucose and lipid metabolic parameters, and diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs; an oxidative stress marker) were also measured.Resveratrol supplementation decreased systolic BP (-5.5 ± 13.0 mmHg), d-ROMs (-25.6 ± 41.8 U.CARR), and CAVI (-0.4 ± 0.7) significantly (P < 0.05) and decreased BW (-0.8 ± 2.1 kg, P = 0.083) and body mass index (-0.5 ± 0.8 kg/m2, P = 0.092) slightly compared to baseline, while there were no significant changes in the placebo group. Decreases in CAVI and d-ROMs were significantly greater in the resveratrol group than in the placebo group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified resveratrol supplementation as an independent predictor for a CAVI decrease of more than 0.5.In conclusion, 12-week resveratrol supplementation may improve arterial stiffness and reduce oxidative stress in patients with T2DM. Resveratrol may be beneficial in preventing the development of atherosclerosis induced by diabetes. However, a large-scale cohort study is required to validate the present findings.

Aim: We investigated whether cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), an arterial stiffness marker, independently predicts future cardiovascular events in subjects with metabolic disorders.Methods: 1562 outpatients underwent CAVI between April 2004 and March 2006 at Toho University, Sakura Medical Center in Chiba, Japan. Patients who already had cardiovascular events at baseline, patients with low ankle brachial index (<0.9), and patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded. After exclusion, 1080 subjects with metabolic disorders including diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia were screened and followed prospectively.Results: Eventually, 1003 subjects (92.9% of 1,080 subjects) followed until March 2012 (follow-up duration 6.7±1.6 years) were analyzed. During the observation period, 90 subjects had new-onset myocardial infarction or angina pectoris confirmed by angiography. All subjects were stratified into quartiles by baseline CAVI (Q1: CAVI ≤8.27, Q2: CAVI 8.28-9.19, Q3: CAVI 9.20-10.08, Q4: CAVI ≥10.09). Age, male ratio and future cardiovascular events increased as CAVI quartile became higher. In Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, the factors independently associated with higher risk of future cardiovascular events were every 1.0 increment of CAVI [hazard ratio (HR) 1.126, p= 0.039], male gender (HR 2.276, p=0.001), smoking (HR 1.846, p=0.007), diabetes mellitus (HR 1.702,p=0.020), and hypertension (HR 1.682, p=0.023).Conclusion: In individuals with metabolic disorders, CAVI was a predictor of future cardiovascular events, independent of traditional coronary risk factors. CAVI is a potentially valuable tool to identify persons likely to benefit from more intensive therapeutic approaches.
