Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol, and a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants in response to injury or when the plant is under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Other diabetic animal model studies by different researchers have also demonstrated the antidiabetic effects of resveratrol.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resveratrol#cite_note-Lagouge_2006-35'][35][125] This compound was shown to act as agonist of PPARgamma, nuclear receptor that is current pharmacological target for the treatment of diabetes type 2.

Research Misconduct

In 2012, the University of Connecticut announced that it had concluded that Dipak K. Das, Ph.D., a professor in its Department of Surgery and director of the Cardiovascular Research Center, was guilty of 145 counts of fabrication and falsification of data and that the university had notified eleven journals about this problem [20]. In recent years, Das had gained attention for his reports on allegedly beneficial properties of resveratrol. As of March 2014, journals had retracted 20 of his papers, many of which were repeatedly cited by others [21]. Das died in 2013 http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/resveratrol.html
