| Description | Polyfenolic compunds in wine exhibit important biological effects: a) Antioxidation effect It has been clinically proved that consumption of red wine leads to increase in level of HDL (high density lipids)in blood. b) Anticancer effect In 1997 the team of dr. Pezzuto (Illinois University, Chicago, USA) has published an article about anticancer effect of resveratrolu. It has been found in vitro and in vivo, that all stages of the cancer process have been inhibited by resveratrol. Its presence increased concentration of enzyme of quinone-reductase, which metabolically detoxicates carcinogens. Resveratrol also exhibited antiprecipitation effect in blood and inhibited the activity of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and hyperoxydases. Moreover, mice fed with a carcinogen, resveratrol inhibited the cancer progress. |
