The biochemistry of reactive oxygen species is an important field with wide implications. Both preventive and chain breaking antioxidants have a role in the limitation of oxidative stress that accompanies aging and diseases. The potent antioxidant activity of phenolic substances of red wine, in particular, have been proposed as an explanation for the “French Paradox” (the apparent incompatibility of a high fat diet with a low incidence of coronary heart diseases). A lot of researchers emphasize beneficial effects of red wine and insist on lower or no antioxidant effect of white wine. We have been studying the effect of both white and red wine on blood antioxidant capacity in humans. The white wine we have been testing was produced by an ancient Tuscany procedure (the same used for red winemaking) which includes fermentation with grapes juice together with peelings and seeds. A statistically significant increase in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels was observed after 2 h from red or white wine ingestion. White wine effect appears to be faster than that of the red one, since a significant difference can also be reported after 1 h. We can conclude that the big difference in the results of serum TAC due to white wine reported by us, in comparison to those reported by others relatively to white wine produced using the French method, can be explained by the difference in the winemaking procedure we adopted. 相似文献

Red wine, dealcoholized red wine, and especially grape juice, inhibit atherosclerosis in a hamster model 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The French have low coronary heart disease mortality with high fat consumption; this epidemiological anomaly is known as the "French Paradox" and is commonly attributed to the consumption of red wine. However, epidemiology studies have not convincingly shown a superiority of red wine vs. alcohol or other alcoholic beverages. We have used the hamster model of atherosclerosis to determine the active ingredient(s) of red wine responsible for the beneficial effect. Hamsters (nine in each group) were given a cholesterol/saturated fat for 10 weeks to induce foam cell formation. Water or 6.75% ethanol was given to the control groups. Beverages tested included red wine, dealcoholized red wine, and red grape juice, all diluted in half. Ethanol and all beverages caused a significant reduction in atherosclerosis. The combination of ethanol in red wine had the largest effect in decreasing atherosclerosis by both hypolipemic and antioxidant mechanisms. When compared with dealcoholized wine and normalized to polyphenol dose, red wine's beneficial effects can be attributed entirely to the polyphenols. Grape juice had a significant benefit at a much lower dose of polyphenols than the wines. Grape juice was calculated to be much more effective than red wine or dealcoholized red wine at the same polyphenol dose in inhibiting atherosclerosis and improving lipids and antioxidant parameters. This data suggests that polyphenolic beverages from grapes are beneficial in inhibiting atherosclerosis by several mechanisms. Grape juice or non-alcoholic red wine are an excellent alternative to red wine in this model of atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The increase in human plasma antioxidant capacity after red wine consumption is due to both plasma urate and wine polyphenols 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

By using red wine, dealcoholized red wine, polyphenols-stripped red wine, ethanol-water solution and water, the role of wine polyphenols and induction of plasma urate elevation on plasma antioxidant capacity was examined in humans (n=9 per beverage). Healthy males randomly consumed each beverage in a cross-over design. Plasma antioxidant capacity (measured by ferric reducing antioxidant power, FRAP), ethanol, catechin and urate concentrations were determined before and 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min after beverage intake. Dealcoholized red wine and polyphenols-stripped red wine induced similar increase in FRAP values which represented nearly half the effect of the original red wine. This indicates that consumption of red wine involves two separate mechanisms in elevation of plasma FRAP values and both wine phenols and plasma urate contribute to that effect. 相似文献

Aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the plasma levels of polyphenols and the antioxidant activity of red and white wine. Twenty healthy subjects (HS) were randomly allocated to drink 300 ml of red (n = 10) or white n = 10 wine for 15 days. Ten HS who refrained from any alcohol beverage for 15 days were used as control. Urinary PGF-2alpha-III, a marker of oxidative stress and plasma levels of polyphenols were measured. Urinary PGF-2alpha-III significantly fell in subjects taking wine with a higher percentage decrease in subjects given red wine (-38.5 +/- 6%, p < 0.001) than in those given white wine (-23.1 +/- 6%). Subjects taking red wine had higher plasma polyphenols than those taking white wine (1.9 +/- 0.6 microM versus 1.5 +/- 0.33 microM, p < 0.001). Plasma polyphenols were inversely correlated with urinary PGF2alpha (r = 0.77, p < 0.001). No changes of urinary isoprostanes were observed in subjects who refrained from wine intake. In vitro study demonstrated that only a mixture of polyphenols, all in a range corresponding to that found in human circulation, inhibited LDL oxidation and PKC-mediated NADPH oxidase activation. Such inhibitory effects were more marked using the concentrations of polyphenols detected in human circulation after red wine intake. This study shows that red wine is more antioxidant than white wine in virtue of its higher content of polyphenols, an effect that may be dependent upon a synergism among polyphenols. 相似文献

Wine and alcohol consumption has been considered to be protective against coronary heart disease development, an oxidative stress associated disease. Wine contains polyphenols displaying antioxidant properties tested in in vitro and in vivo studies. Due to this, a general consensus exists, both among the general public and the scientific community, that wine, particularly red wine, is an antioxidant beverage. Alcohol consumption, however, is associated with oxidative damage. Several studies have been carried out on the antioxidant health benefits of wine and wine polyphenols. However, adequate scientific evidence (Level I or II) is required to be provided before recommendations or statements which can reach the general public can be formulated. Here, we summarize the state of the art of the up-to-date body of knowledge, and the extent to which there exists evidence of the benefits of moderate wine consumption on oxidative damage in humans. From the available data, there is no evidence, at present, that sustained wine consumption provides antioxidant benefits in healthy volunteers other than to counteract a possible pro-oxidative effect of the alcohol. On the contrary, data on the antioxidant protective effect of red wine in oxidative stress situations are promising. In this way, the postprandial oxidative stress after a meal, despite the diversity of biomarkers used for its evaluation, is counteracted by the ingestion of wine. Further studies are warranted. 相似文献

Oxidation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) is supposed to play a role in the generation of atherosclerotic lesions. Grape derived beverages supply a large number of nutritional antioxidants because of their high content of polyphenols. This might be one of the mechanisms behind the supposed beneficial effect of red wine. Wine also contains alcohol and its role in oxidation processes especially in vivo is unclear. In this study the effect of daily red wine consumption for 2 weeks on oxidizability status of LDL was investigated. The role of alcohol in LDL oxidation was further explored in in vitro experiments. After abstinence from alcoholic beverages, grape juices and tea for a week, seven healthy male volunteers consumed 375 ml of red wine (30 g alcohol) per day during 2 weeks. At the start and end of the drinking period blood samples were taken and the susceptibility of LDL-c to copper-induced oxidation was analyzed with the addition of distilled water (control) and dilutions of a 12% alcohol solution, white wine and red wine. Although red wine at concentrations achievable in vivo caused a significant prolongation of the lag-time of metal ion dependent LDL oxidation in vitro (85.9+/-23.0-114.1+/-30.8 min, P<0. 001), a significant shortening of lag-time was found in vivo after the 2 weeks of wine consumption (56.3+/-13.0 min, P<0.001). A shorter lag-time compared to the control was found for both alcohol and white wine in vitro. The changed oxidizability status of LDL after 2 weeks of wine consumption made it more susceptible for the in vitro antioxidant effect of red wine. At low dilutions red grape juice extended lag-time as well, which was not influenced by the addition of alcohol. Red wine has a strong inhibitory effect on copper-induced oxidation of LDL in vitro, while red grape juice has a minor effect, an effect which should be attributed to the non alcohol components in the beverages. In vivo, however, this effect can be overshadowed by the prooxidant influence of alcohol. The balance between alcohol and polyphenols of a wine may be critical for its in vivo effect on LDL oxidation. 相似文献

AIM: The balance between oxidants and antioxidants can play an important role in the initiation and development of liver diseases. Recently, we have described a new automated method for the determination of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in human serum and plasma. METHODS: We measured TAC and corrected TAC (CTAC -abstraction of interactions due to endogenous uric acid, bilirubin and albumin) in 52 patients with chronic liver diseases (41 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), 10 patients with chronic hepatitis C and 13 patients with viral HCV cirrhosis) as well as in 10 healthy controls. In 23 PBC patients measurement were also done 6 mo after treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). The TAC assay was based on a modification of the crocin bleaching assay. The results were correlated with routine laboratory measurements and the histological stage of PBC. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in TAC between the various groups. However, CTAC was considerably increased in the PBC group compared to controls and cirrhotics. Analysis of these patients according to disease stages showed that this increase was an early phenomenon observed only in stages I and II compared to controls, cirrhotics and patients with chronic hepatitis C). After 6 mo of treatment with UDCA, levels of CTAC decreased to those similar to that of controls. CONCLUSION: Patients in the early stages of PBC present with high levels of corrected total antioxidant capacity and this maybe related to the pathophysiology of the disease. UDCA treatment restores the levels of CTAC to control levels. 相似文献

Phenolic phytochemicals are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. In terms of protective effects on organisms, the group of polyphenols is the most important. In various experiments, it has been shown that selected polyphenols, mainly flavonoids, confer protective effects on the cardiovascular system and have anti-cancer, antiviral and antiallergic properties. In coronary artery disease, the protective effects are due mainly to antithrombic, antioxidant, anti-ischemic and vasorelaxant properties of flavonoids. Flavonoids are low molecular weight compounds composed of a three-ring structure with various substitutions, which appear to be responsible for the antioxidant and antiproliferative properties. It has been hypothesized that the low incidence of coronary artery disease in the French population may be partially related to the pharmacological properties of polyphenolic compounds present in red wine. Many epidemiological studies have shown that regular flavonoid intake is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

Background and aimsDietary antioxidants may play a protective role in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes. However, observational studies that examine the relationship between the antioxidant capacity of the diet and glucose metabolism are limited, particularly in older people. We aimed to examine the relationships between dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and markers of glucose metabolism among 1441 men and 1253 women aged 59–73 years who participated in the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, UK.Methods and resultsDiet was assessed by food frequency questionnaire. Dietary TAC was estimated using published databases of TAC measured by four different assays: oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), ferric-reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP) and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). Fasting and 120-min plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were measured during a standard 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. In men, dietary TAC estimated by all four assays was inversely associated with fasting insulin concentration and homoeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR); with the exception of ORAC, dietary TAC was also inversely related to 120-min glucose concentration. There were no associations with fasting glucose or 120-min insulin concentrations. In women, with the exception of the association between ORAC and 120-min insulin concentration, dietary TAC estimated by all assays showed consistent inverse associations with fasting and 120-min glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR. These associations were more marked among women with BMI ≥30 kg/m2.ConclusionThese findings suggest dietary TAC may have important protective effects on glucose tolerance, especially in older obese women. 相似文献

The traditional mediterranean diet is associated with a hope for longer survival. It has also been shown that the red wine possesses a protective effect against the oxidative stress. We studied TAC, the DHEAS and the IGF-1 in a group of 26 healthy centenarians, 17 women and 9 men, of the age range of 100--105 years. Furthermore, we analyzed also serum urate and bilirubin levels between drinkers and abstainers. Most of centenarian subjects have been moderate wine consumers (<500 ml/day of red wine). These subjects were subdivided as follows: (i) Group A: those who had maintained the style of their dietary habits as compared to the previous years (n=3 males, 10 females); (ii) Group B: those who actually consumed a diet being deficient compared to that of the previous years, but remained moderate drinkers of red wine (n=3 males, 4 females); and (iii) Group C: those who actually consumed a diet being deficient compared to that of the previous years, and at the same time, were abstainers in wine consumption (n=3 males, 3 females). The results show that in men three of the studied parameters decreased from Group A to C to considerable extents, as follows (mean+/-S.D.). TAC: 302.4+/-32.3; 142.0+/-24.1 and 96.4+/-20.1 micromol/l; DHEAS: 3.35+/-0.81; 2.52+/-0.18 and 1.34+/-0.14 micromol/l; IGF-1: 85.7+/-6.7; 76.6+/-6.7 and 65.6+/-2.6 ng/ml, respectively. For the same parameters, the results in the women were: TAC: 258.4+/-12.2; 182.1+/-14.0 and 107.6+/-10.0 micromol/l; DHEAS: 3.85+/-0.16; 2.34+/-0.19 and 2.05+/-0.04 micromol/l; IGF-1: 89.7+/-6.7; 76.6+/-4.7 and 64.2+/-2.7 ng/ml, respectively. We did not find any significant difference in the other serum parameters between drinkers (n=14) and abstainers (n=3) (urate: 267.6+/-52.9, and 289.5+/-80.1; bilirubin: 9.81+/-4.29 and 7.18+/-2.89 micromol/l, respectively). Our data suggest that the deteriorated diet caused a reduction of TAC, DHEAS and IGF-1 in the centenarians. However, red vine consumption exerted a protective effect against this trend, even if this protection is not reaching statistical significance in some cases (in men), which is due most probably to the lower number of male subjects in the study. 相似文献

AIMS: To examine the acute effect of red wine and de-alcoholized red wine on endothelial function. METHODS AND RESULTS: High frequency ultrasound was used to measure blood flow and percentage brachial artery dilatation after reactive hyperaemia induced by forearm cuff occlusion in 12 healthy subjects, less than 40 years of age, without known cardiovascular risk factors. The subjects drank 250 ml of red wine with or without alcohol over 10 min according to a randomized procedure. Brachial artery dilatation was measured again 30 and 60 min after the subjects had finished drinking. The subjects were studied a second time within a week of the first study in a cross-over design. After the red wine with alcohol the resting brachial artery diameter, resting blood flow, heart rate and plasma-ethanol increased significantly. After the de-alcoholized red wine these parameters were unchanged. Flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery was significantly higher (P<0.05) after drinking de-alcoholized red wine (5.6+/-3.2%) than after drinking red wine with alcohol (3.6+/-2.2%) and before drinking (3.9+/-2.5%). CONCLUSION: After ingestion of red wine with alcohol the brachial artery dilated and the blood flow increased. These changes were not observed following the de-alcoholized red wine and were thus attributable to ethanol. These haemodynamic changes may have concealed an effect on flow-mediated brachial artery dilatation which did not increase after drinking red wine with alcohol. Flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery increased significantly after de-alcoholized red wine and this finding may support the hypothesis that antioxidant qualities of red wine, rather than ethanol in itself, may protect against cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

Many studies have shown either an inverse relation between alcohol intake and ischemic heart disease or a U-shaped curve in which the equivalent of two drinks per day of any kind of alcohol is associated with a decreased incidence of coronary disease compared with no drinks, while higher doses result in an increased risk of infarction and stroke. Although the cardioprotective effects of most alcoholic beverages are probably due to an elevation of high-density lipoprotein as well as the ability of alcohol to prevent platelet aggregation and increased fibrinolysis, there is an increased favorable effect of red wine. The unique cardioprotective properties of red wine reside in the action of flavonoids which are absent in white wine (with the exception of champagne) and sparse in beer (with the exception of dark beers). The best researched flavonoids are resveritrol and quercetin, which confer antioxidant properties more potent than alpha-tocopherol. Grape juice has about half the amount of flavonoids by volume as does red wine. 相似文献

Background and aimsAtherosclerosis may be ameliorated by red wine consumption possibly by providing antioxidants. The effects of red wine on the peroxidation status of chylomicrons (CM) are unknown. The aims were to compare the lipid peroxidation status of oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from a standardised high-fat meal with that of the CM at peak concentrations following ingestion of the meal with and without wine, and to examine the contribution of wine to the antioxidant content of the plasma.Methods and resultsFasted subjects ingested the meal randomly with and without red wine. The peroxidation status was described by conjugated dienes (CD), lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). CM lag times and the area under the curve (AUC) of CD were determined under oxidative stress. Plasma catechin concentrations and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values were determined. The CM produced with and without wine did not differ in their concentration of CD, LOOH and TBARS. Lag times of CM with and without wine were not significantly different, nor were the AUC. Plasma catechin values increased significantly after consumption of wine with the meal, whereas ORAC values did not.ConclusionRed wine consumption increases plasma catechins, but does not influence lipid peroxidation in postprandial CM. 相似文献

Background Oxidative stress and increased inflammation have been reported to be increased in subjects with diabetes and to be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications after myocardial infarction (MI). It is well recognized that red wine has antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities. We examined the effects of moderate red wine intake on echocardiographic parameters of functional cardiac outcome in addition to inflammatory cytokines and nitrotyrosine (oxidative stress marker), in subjects with diabetes after a first uncomplicated MI. Methods One hundred and fifteen subjects with diabetes who had sustained a first non‐fatal MI were randomized to receive a moderate daily amount of red wine (intervention group) or not (control group). Echocardiographic parameters of ventricular dys‐synchrony, circulating levels of nitrotyrosine, tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interleukin‐18 (IL‐18) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) were investigated at baseline and 12 months after randomization. Results After 1 year of diet intervention, concentrations of nitrotyrosine (P < 0.01), CRP (P < 0.01), TNF‐α (P < 0.01), IL‐6 (P < 0.01) and IL‐18 (P < 0.01) were increased in the control group compared with the intervention group. In addition, myocardial performance index (P < 0.02) was higher, and transmitral Doppler flow (P < 0.05), pulmonary venous flow analysis (P < 0.02) and ejection fraction (P < 0.05) were lower in the control group, indicating ventricular dys‐synchrony. The concentrations of nitrotyrosine, CRP, TNF‐α and IL‐6 were related to echocardiographic parameters of ventricular dys‐synchrony. Conclusions In subjects with diabetes, red wine consumption, taken with meals, significantly reduces oxidative stress and pro‐inflammatory cytokines as well as improving cardiac function after MI. Moderate red wine intake with meals may have a beneficial effect in the prevention of cardiovascular complications after MI in subjects with diabetes. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Moderate red wine consumption improved endothelial function in normal volunteers. Herein we explored the effects of moderate red wine consumption in endothelial function and in oxidative stress in patients with an acute coronary syndrome. METHODS: 20 patients treated with percutaneous coronary interventions after an acute coronary syndrome were randomized to a red-wine group (n=9, 250 ml daily, Cabernet Sauvignon) or to a control group (n=11, abstinence from alcoholic beverages). Studies were performed at baseline and after 2 months. Endothelial function was estimated by flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery. Plasma antioxidant capacity was measured by total antioxidant reactivity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Oxidative damage was evaluated by measurements of 8-OH deoxyguanosine content in leukocyte deoxyribonucleic acid. RESULTS: The endothelium dependent/independent dilatation ratio significantly improved compared to baseline in both groups. The 8-OH deoxyguanosine content decreased significantly in both groups; this effect was more pronounced with wine (p<0.002 vs. control). Oxidative deoxyribonucleic acid damage in controls decreased from 13.1+/-1.1 to 10.0+/-1.0 (p<0.003); with wine from 13+/-0.8 to 5.6+/-0.7 per 10(5) guanosines (p<0.001; p<0.002 vs. control). Total antioxidant reactivity increased from 240+/-18 to 268+/-18 microM in the control group and from 273+/-20 to 330+/-15 microM in the wine group (p<0.03 vs. control). Ferric reducing antioxidant power increased from 1106+/-60 to 1235+/-42 microM in the control group and from 1219+/-82 to 1450+/-63 microM in the wine group (p<0.001 vs. control). CONCLUSIONS: The addition of moderate amounts of red wine did not improve endothelial function beyond conventional therapy, whereas it showed benefits in parameters of oxidative stress in these patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Levels of anti-oxidant polyphenols are higher in red than in white wine and are thought to contribute to the reduced cardiovascular risk associated with moderate consumption of wine observed in epidemiological studies. AIM: To compare the acute effects of acute ingestion of white and red wine on endothelial function in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: Fourteen subjects with proven CAD were randomised to consume white and red wine with a light meal in a single blind cross-over study. Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery was measured using high-resolution ultrasonography. Endothelial function, lipid profile, plasma alcohol and polyphenols were measured at baseline, 60 and 360 min after wine consumption. RESULTS: At baseline, FMD was similar (white wine 1.6 +/- 1.9%, red wine 1.8 +/- 1.7%). At 360 min after ingestion of wine there was no difference in FMD, which improved nearly threefold after both wines (white wine 4.7 +/- 2.2%, red wine 3.4 +/- 2.9%; P = 0.002). There was no detectable change in plasma polyphenol levels after either wine. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that wine acutely improves endothelial function in patients with CAD. This improved endothelial function might contribute to a reduced risk of cardiovascular events. 相似文献

Both epidemiological and experimental studies have revealed that intake of wine, particularly red wine, in moderation protects cardiovascular health; however, the experimental basis for such an action is not fully understood. Because all types of red wine contain varying amounts of alcohol and antioxidants, it is likely that the cardioprotective effect of red wine is due to both these constituents. In view of its direct action on the vascular smooth muscle cells, alcohol may produce coronary vasodilation in addition to attenuating oxidative stress by its action on the central nervous system. The antioxidant components of red wine may provide cardioprotection by their ability to reduce oxidative stress in the heart under different pathological conditions. Mild-to-moderate red wine consumption improves cardiac function in the ischemic myocardium through the protection of endothelial function, the expression of several cardioprotective oxidative stress-inducible proteins, as well as the activation of adenosine receptors and nitrous oxide synthase mechanisms. 相似文献

Numerous epidemiological studies indicate that a moderate intake of alcohol is associated with a reduced risk of morbidity and mortality secondary to cardiovascular diseases. Alcohol intake from any type of alcoholic beverage appears beneficial, but red wine seems to confer additional health benefits because of the presence of red wine polyphenolic compounds (RWPC). On the basis of clinical and experimental data, the favourable effect of moderate intake of alcohol results to its action on lipid profile, hemostatic parameters, and reduction of inflammation markers. RWPC exert numerous effects including antioxidant and free radical properties, anti-aggregatory platelet and anti-thrombotic activities. Moreover, RWPC are powerful vasodilators and contribute to the preservation of the integrity of the endothelium and inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. All these effects of red wine might interfere with atherosclerotic plaque development and stability, vascular thrombosis and occlusion. Although, red wine might be of therapeutic benefit in cardiovascular diseases, prospective controlled clinical studies are still lacking. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies have suggested that dietary factors, including moderate red wine consumption, might reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The beneficial effect of fruits, vegetables, or red wine may be in part explained by the presence of polyphenols with a multitude of biological activities, including antioxidant and free radical-scavenging properties, anti-aggregatory platelet property and inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Another therapeutically relevant effect of polyphenols may be their ability to interact with the generation of nitric oxide from vascular endothelium that leads not only to vasodilatation but also to the expression of genes protective of the cardiovascular system. Finally, polyphenols contribute to the preservation of endothelial integrity by acting on the processes implicated in endothelial proliferation, migration and apoptosis. All these effects of polyphenols might interfere with atherosclerotic plaque development and stability, vascular thrombosis and occlusion and therefore might explain their cardio- and vascular protective properties. 相似文献
