# Alpha memo: skeletal muscle resveratrol exercise cross-context evidence signal

**One-sentence alpha:** Improvements in skeletal muscle strength and cardiac function induced by resveratrol during exercise training contribute to enhanced exercise performance in rats made us expect resveratrol would travel cleanly as a positive signal; Exercise training, but not resveratrol, improves metabolic and inflammatory status in skeletal muscle of aged men forces the update that the same anchor can fail, reverse, or split by context.

**Receipt 2:** Exercise training, but not resveratrol, improves metabolic and inflammatory status in skeletal muscle of aged men | 2014 | 10.1113/jphysiol.2013.270256 | finding: The aim was to investigate the metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol alone and when combined with exercise training in skeletal muscle of aged human subjects. Healthy, physically inactive men (60-72 years old) were randomized to either 8 weeks of daily intake of 250 mg resveratrol or placebo or to 8 weeks of high-intensity exercise training with 250 mg resveratrol or placebo. Before and after the interventions, resting blood samples and muscle biopsies were obtained and a one-legged knee-extensor endurance exercise test was performed. Exercise training increased skeletal muscle peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ co-activator-1α mRNA ~1.5-fold, cytochrome c protein 

**Why this is surprising:** The pair has `mechanism_to_human_failure` geometry over `resveratrol, exercise` rather than a broad literature-summary bridge.

**Caveats/falsifiers:**
- Reject if the shared anchor is not the same construct/intervention in the full text.
- Reject if later receipts show the apparent reversal is only population, dose, or measurement noise.
- Reject if either receipt is a review, case-only report, or keyword-only match.
