Repressive effects of resveratrol on androgen receptor transcriptional activity.

<h4>Background</h4>The chemopreventive effects of resveratrol (RSV) on prostate cancer have been well established; the androgen receptor (AR) plays pivotal roles in prostatic tumorigenesis. However, the exact underlying molecular mechanisms about the effects of RSV on AR have not been fu...
