Abstract
Mitochondrial function is essential for ATP-supply, especially in response to different cellular stressors. Increased mitochondrial biogenesis resulting from caloric restriction (CR) has been reported. Resveratrol (RSV) is believed to mimic the physiological effects of CR mainly via a sirtuin (SIRT) 1-dependent pathway. The effect of RSV on the physiological function of mitochondrial respiratory complexes was evaluated using a Seahorse XF96. Myoblasts of five patients harboring the m.3243A>G mutation and five controls were analyzed. The relative expression of several genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis was evaluated for a better understanding of the coherent mechanisms. Additionally, media-dependent effects of nutritional compounds and hormonal restrictions (R) on myoblasts from patients and controls in the presence or absence of RSV were investigated. Culturing of myoblasts under these conditions led to an upregulation of almost all the investigated genes compared to normal nutrition. Under normal conditions, there was no positive effect of RSV on mitochondrial respiration in patients and controls. However, under restricted conditions, the respiratory factors measured by Seahorse were improved in the presence of RSV. Further studies are necessary to clarify the involved mechanisms and elucidate the controversial effects of resveratrol on SIRT1 and SIRT3 expression.

Abstract
In this study,trans-resveratrol (t-RSV; 3,5,4 '-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) contents of the ripened berries of 23 clones of 'Kalecik Karasi' which is one of Turkey's leading red wine grape cultivars, grown in Ankara (Kalecik) were determined by HPLC. For this purpose; the berries were collected at 22-24 degrees Brix during 2016-2017 vintage seasons. Descriptive statistics fort-RSV content of clones were expressed as mean with their standard errors. One-way analysis of variance was performed for the comparison. Duncan multiple comparison test was used to determine the significant variances among clones. In addition, Analysis of Mean (ANOM) was also applied to determine the differences of the clones from the grand mean. As a result,t-RSV content of the clones ranged from 0.31 mg kg(-1)(Clone 22) to 1.67 mg kg(-1)(Clone 7) followed by Clone 6 with 1.12 mg kg(-1)and differences among the clones were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
