Health benefits of wine and alcohol from neuroprotection to heart health

Abstract: Controversy is common during efforts to define the role of nutrition in health, but few modern reflections of such controversy are as vivid as the debate over wine. There exists no query that chronic alcohol abuse, a leading worldwide problem, causes neuronal dysfunction and brain damage. However, various epidemiologic studies in recent years have indicated that in comparisons with abstainers or never drinkers, light/moderate alcohol/wine consumers have lower risks of age-dependent cognitive decline and/or dem… Show more

“…Wine has been much more heavily advocated for health benefits than grape juice for a few reasons. 11,12 For one, people always love having a nice excuse to drink alcohol and it is drunk in greater quantities than grape juice. Secondly, people might lump grape juice and grapes into one broad category while considering wine a separate entity.…”

“…9 It is almost universally accepted that red wine contains more anti oxidants than white wine, but a further understanding of the magnitude of this disparity as well as several possible causes are still worth investi gating. 10,11 Three different wines used for comparison are a common red wine, pinot noir; a common white wine, pinot grigio; as well as Concord grape wine. These three wines will also be compared to three different grape juices: homemade purple grape juice as well as storebought organic varieties of Concord grape juice and white grape juice.…”

“…Os efeitos protetores exercidos pelo resveratrol, durante o processo de danos ao material genético da célula produzido pelo efeito oxidativo dos radicais livres, promovem efeitos como: a indução da resposta anti-inflatória (Leonard et al, 2003); a atividade antitumoral (Frémont, 2000); a prevenção ou inibição de doenças degenerativas (Vingtdeux et al, 2008); a diminuição da incidência de doenças cardiovasculares (Goldberg et al, 1995a); a inibição da agregação plaquetária (Frémont, 2000), e a inibição ou diminuição da incidência de doenças neurodegenerativas, como as síndromes de Alzheimer e Parkinson (Vasanthi et al, 2012;Vingtdeux et al, 2008).…”

“…Nos vinhos, em especial, no vinho tinto, a concentração de resveratrol é relativamente alta. Os sucos de uva, principalmente o suco tinto de uva, são considerados excelentes fontes de resveratrol para abstêmios, embora sua concentração seja inferior a do vinho tinto (Sautter et al, 2005).Os efeitos protetores exercidos pelo resveratrol, durante o processo de danos no material genético da célula produzido pelo resultado oxidativo dos radicais livres, promovem consequências como: indução da resposta anti-inflatória (Leonard et al, 2003); atividade antitumoral (Frémont, 2000); prevenção ou inibição de doenças degenerativas (Vingtdeux et al, 2008); diminuição da incidência de doenças cardiovasculares (Goldberg et al, 1995a); inibição da agregação plaquetária (Frémont, 2000), e inibição ou diminuição da incidência de doenças neurodegenerativas, como as síndromes de Alzheimer e Parkinson (Vasanthi et al, 2012).No ciclo celular, tanto de células normais quanto de células tumorais, a presença do resveratrol faz com que as células permaneçam na fase S da mitose (fase de síntese). Essa fase do ciclo celular apresenta uma elevada resistência aos efeitos deletérios promovidos pela incidência da radiação ionizante nas células (Metter Junior & Upton, 1995;Sgambato et al, 2001).…”
