This actually pertains to a different article that appeared today in
Cell online. In this article, mice given a whoppping huge dose of
resveratrol (400 mg/kg, compared to 22 mg/kg in the previous study)
showed a 100% increase in their endurance on a treadmill test,
indicating a more efficient metabolism. It's quite an intriguing
result, but creates as many questions as it answers.

The NY Times also had a writeup on it (somewhat more cogent IMO):
