A team from the Salk Institute has revealed the structural basis for tetraketide cyclization in stilbene synthase, which produces resveratrol, a beneficial phytonutrient found in red wine. The mechanism of stilbene synthesis is crucial for its pharmaceutical and medical interest.
Researchers have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of a plant enzyme that produces resveratrol, a key component of red wine with impressive health benefits. The study provides new insights into the relationships among plant proteins, shedding light on how grapes produce resveratrol to defend against fungal invasion.
A recent study by Thomas Jefferson University researchers found that red wine has a greater effect in lowering levels of anti-inflammatory substances in the blood compared to gin. The study's results suggest that moderate consumption of red wine may offer some protection against heart disease and stroke.
Researchers from Oregon State University identified a key genetic mechanism linking resveratrol in red wine to reduced fat formation and increased fat mobilization. This may explain why moderate red wine consumption is associated with lower deaths from heart disease.
Researchers at Cornell University found that cocoa contains nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea. The high content of phenolic phytochemicals, or flavonoids, is responsible for this superior antioxidant activity.
Cocoa has been found to have the highest antioxidant content among hot water-based beverages, surpassing red wine and green tea. A study comparing the total antioxidant content of these drinks revealed that hot cocoa contains almost twice as many antioxidants as red wine and up to five times more than black tea.
Scientists at the University of California, Davis have identified saponins in red wine as a potential cholesterol fighter. Saponins are found to contain higher levels in red wine than white wine and may work by binding to and preventing the absorption of cholesterol.
A new study found that moderate red wine consumption is associated with higher levels of HDL cholesterol in regular drinkers. The researchers discovered that the fatty acid composition of these HDL particles may play a beneficial role in reducing cardiovascular risk.
A study of 1,555 adults found that drinking white wine may be beneficial for lung health, with greater lung function observed in those who consumed white wine compared to red wine. The antioxidant flavonoids in white wine are thought to play a key role in this protective effect.
Researchers found that the presence of alcohol in red wine had no additional benefit to the body's absorption of flavonoids, including catechin. Blood concentrations of catechin rose sharply in both groups but persisted for less time in those who drank alcoholic beverages.
A large Danish study found moderate wine consumption protects against coronary heart disease. Red wine's high antioxidant content is linked to a healthier diet, including more fruit, vegetables, and fish consumed by wine drinkers compared to beer or spirits consumers.
A study by Jane E. Freedman found that purple grape juice inhibits platelet aggregation, reducing blood clotting risk and improving cardiovascular health. The flavonoid quercetin was also shown to have antioxidant properties, preventing the inactivation of nitric oxide.
A study found that red wine polyphenols increased the lag time of LDL oxidation, decreased lipid peroxides and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, and boosted plasma and LDL polyphenols. Vitamin E supplementation also showed antioxidant effects, although with varying degrees depending on EDTA presence.
Researchers at Northwestern University Medical School found that resveratrol in red wine is a form of estrogen with cardioprotective properties. Moderate consumption of red wine may reduce cardiovascular disease risk due to its resveratrol content, which activates estrogen receptors and increases HDL cholesterol.
A new study by Colorado State University researchers found no link between moderate red wine consumption and weight gain. Moderate levels of alcohol consumption were shown to not affect blood glucose and insulin levels, which often increase with weight gain.
