Grapes; Public Domain, U.S. Department o Agriculture — Agricultural Research Service http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Program/304/ARS-PDPlan2006.pdf

Human gum cells as a test system for investigating interactions between resveratrol, bitter receptors and the release of inflammatory markers.

Resveratrol is a plant compound found primarily in red grapes and Japanese knotweed. Its synthetic variant has been approved as a food ingredient in the EU since 2016. At least in cell-based test systems, the substance has anti-inflammatory properties...

Red Wine’s Resveratrol could help Mars Explorers stay strong

Terminal assessment of the muscles of the triceps surae, including soleus (A)and gastrocnemius wet mass (D), soleus (B) and gastrocnemius (E) average cross sectional area (CSA), and representative images of the soleus (C) and gastrocnemius (F) muscles stained with anti-collagen VI (red), anti-slow-skeletal myosin heavy chain (green), and DAPI (blue). N = 6 per group. The results are presented as mean ± SEM; the results of the post hoc tests following the ANOVA are indicated. *p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001 vs. PWB100, respectively. #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001, and #⁢#⁢#⁢#p < 0.0001 vs. PWB100 + RSV, respectively. $p < 0.05, $$p < 0.01, and $$$p < 0.001 vs. PWB40, respectively.

Nutraceuticals that preserve muscle in reduced gravity will support long-term space mis...

Red Wine proves good for the Heart (again)

“By delivering red wine antioxidants during conventional angioplasty, it may be possible to prevent excess tissue from building up and the blood vessel from narrowing again as it heals,” Dr. Dugas said.

“By delivering red wine antioxidants during conventional angioplasty, it may be possible to prevent excess tissue from building up and the blood vessel from narrowing again as it heals,” Dr. Dugas said.

Antioxidants found in wine have advanced stents. Antioxidant compounds found in red wine are advancing the treatment of heart disease – the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. Heart disease occurs when plaque builds up within artery walls blocking the blood flow through tissues in the body, increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. About 630,000 people die each year from heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While there is no singular cure for heart disease, there are numerous forms of treatment including lifestyle chang...

Starving Prostate Cancer with what you eat: Apple peels, red grapes, turmeric

In vivo effect on HMVP2 tumor growth of treatment with CUR, UA, RES and their combinations. HMVP2 cell spheroids were injected subcutaneously into the flank of male FVB/N mice. Mice were fed ad libitum with semipurified AIN76A-based diet containing CUR, UA, RES or their combinations of two natural compounds. Body weight (a), food consumption (b), tumor volume (c) and tumor weight (d) are shown as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA with significance at p < 0.05 was used. Statistical significance is shown as different from control (a), CUR (b), UA (c) and RES (d)
