Red Wine May Prevent Obesity

Hmm this seems like just the thing for all those winos out there.
The researchers further discovered that resveratrol activates a Sirtuin
protein located in the mitochondrion organelle, which is responsible for energy
production, Nutraingredients.com reported. This activated protein in turn
stimulates the activity of another protein involved in mitochondrial
functions.

The enhanced mitochondrial activity led to increased
energy production, which may result in a reduction of weight gain, the
researchers were cited as surmising by Nutraingredients.com.
