Wine, Diet, Antioxidant Defenses, and Oxidative Damage

Abstract: Oxidative stress is a central mechanism for the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease and atherogenesis, for cancer and other chronic diseases in general, and it also plays a major role in the aging process. Dietary antioxidants constitute a large group of compounds that differ in mechanism of action, bioavailability and side effects. A systematic analysis of the role of the various antioxidants in chronic diseases is hampered by the difficulty of employing death or clinical events as end points in interventi… Show more

“…The positive association of plasma TAC with alcohol consumption in the present study is in line with results from intervention studies showing increased plasma TAC with wine consumption (32)(33)(34)(35)(36). However, the highest alcohol consumption in this study (two glasses of wine, beer, or spirits per day) was much lower than the consumption in an intervention study by van der Gaag et al (37) (four glasses/d of red wine, beer, or spirits over a 3-wk period) that had no effect on TAC.…”

“…Furthermore, intracellular levels of both glutathione and ascorbate are negatively correlated with 8-oxo-dG levels in lymphocytes (86). In addition, plasma levels of antioxidants including ascorbate, h-carotenoids, lycopenes, and vitamin E are also negatively correlated with levels of DNA oxidation in human lymphocytes (87)(88)(89)(90). Therefore, plasma antioxidant capacity is likely to be an indicator of WBC intracellular redox status and may be related to the ability to activate sodium dichromate within the cell by the reductive antioxidants GSH and ascorbate.…”
