Wine consumption, Mediterranean diet, and cardiovascular risk in two Spanish cohorts

Background and aims: The benefits of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) are well established. However, one component, wine, remains controversial. This study assessed the association between MedDiet (with or without wine consumption)…

Red wine (poly)phenols supplementation reduces amyloid-beta (aβ) pathology in APP/PS1 mice model: Possible implications of gut-brain axis explored by untargeted fecal metabolomics

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder influenced by genetics and lifestyle. The Mediterranean diet, especially moderate red wine (RW) intake, may offer neuroprotection through (poly)phenols acting on amyloid…

Alcohol, health and cardiovascular disease.

Recent epidemiological studies have shown that alcohol consumption can increase the risk of arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation and gastrointestinal and breast cancer. Various sectors are therefore promoting abstinence from alcohol.…

Red Wine Extract Prevents Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in ARPE-19 Retinal Cells

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most commonly occurring ocular diseases worldwide. This degenerative condition affects the retina and leads to the loss of central vision. The current…

Resveratrol inhibits autophagy against myocardial ischemia- reperfusion injury through the DJ-1/MEKK1/JNK pathway.

Resveratrol (RES), a natural polyphenolic compound found in red wine and grape skins, has attracted significant attention due to its cardioprotective properties. DJ-1, a multifunctional protein that participated in transcription…

Red Wine High-Molecular-Weight Polyphenolic Complex Ameliorates High-Fat Diet-Induced Metabolic Dysregulation and Perturbation in Gut Microbiota in Mice.

Red wine polyphenolic complexes have attracted increasing attention as potential modulators of human metabolic disease risk. Our previous study discovered that red wine high-molecular-weight polymeric polyphenolic complexes (HPPCs) could inhibit…

The central administration of vitisin A, extracted from Vitis vinifera, improves cognitive function and related signaling pathways in a scopolamine-induced dementia model.

Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are characterized by cognitive function loss and progressive memory impairment. Vitis vinifera, which is consumed in the form of fruits and wines in…

Association between beverage consumption and risk of rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective study from the French E3N Cohort.

Objectives: To assess the relationship between consumption of largely consumed beverages (coffee, tea, alcohol and soft drinks) and the risk of RA. Material and methods: The E3N Study (Étude Épidémiologique…

Sphingolipid Levels and Signaling via Resveratrol and Antioxidant Actions in Cardiometabolic Risk and Disease.

Resveratrol (RSV) is a phenolic compound with strong antioxidant activity, which is generally associated with the beneficial effects of wine on human health. All resveratrol-mediated benefits exerted on different systems…
