Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if Resveratrol, a nutritional supplement, shows a
beneficial effect in the cellular function of normal liver cells and diseased liver cells
(cancer cells) in samples of liver tissue taken during elective liver surgery. Outcomes based
on 3 measures will test the hypothesis that Resveratrol when used as a nutritional supplement
will 1)improve metabolic function in liver cells, 2)reduce cellular growth and proliferation
of cancer cells, 3)decrease inflammation in the liver.
