Overview on wine and health 32 years after the French paradox 

Abstract

Phenolic compounds or polyphenols are the most abundant and ubiquitous secondary metabolites present in the plant kingdom with more than 8000 phenolic structures currently known. These compounds play an important role in plant growth and reproduction, providing protection against biotic and abiotic stress such as pathogen and insect attack, UV radiation and wounding. (poly)phenols are widely distributed in the human diet mainly in plant-derived food and beverages (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, tea and red wine). Actually, phenolic compounds from grapes and wines are known to have some health benefits such as a chemopreventive role toward cardiovascular, cancer, and degenerative diseases. For instance, polyphenolic compounds in grapes are known to lower oxidative stress, to modulate the inflammatory cascade, to reduce the oxidation of LDL-c and to induce protection against atherothrombotic episodes including myocardial ischemia and inhibition of platelet aggregation. Most of these health effects have been ascribed to polyphenolic compounds serving as reducing agents in many biological systems by donating hydrogen, quenching singlet oxygen, acting as chelators and by trapping free radicals. Moreover, these antioxidant activities help to limit oxidation of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, which may initiate degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, dermal disorders and aging. Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse correlation between the consumption of polyphenols enriched diet and reduced risks of cardio vascular diseases (CVDS). The potential mechanisms of preventing CVDS and other chronic diseases could be related to the antioxidant activity.

Panorama sur le vin et la santé 32 ans après le French paradox

Les composés phénoliques ou polyphénols sont les métabolites secondaires les plus abondants et les plus omniprésents présents dans le règne végétal avec plus de 8 000 structures phénoliques actuellement connues. Ces composés jouent un rôle important dans la croissance et la reproduction des plantes, en assurant une protection contre les stress biotiques et abiotiques tels que les attaques d’agents pathogènes et d’insectes, les rayons uv et les blessures. Les (poly)phénols sont largement distribués dans l’alimentation humaine, principalement dans les aliments et boissons d’origine végétale (fruits, légumes, noix, graines, herbes, épices, thé et vin rouge). En fait, les composés phénoliques du raisin et du vin sont connus pour avoir certains avantages pour la santé, tels qu’un rôle chimiopréventif contre les maladies cardiue le cancer, les maladies cardiaques, les troubles cutanés et le vieillissement. Des études épidémiologiques ont montré une corrélation inverse entre la consommation d’un régime enrichi en polyphénols et la réduction des risques de maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV). Les mécanismes potentiels de prévention des maladies cardiovasculaires et d’autres maladies chroniques pourraient être liés à l’activité antioxydante.ovasculaires, le cancer et les maladies dégénératives. Par exemple, les composés polyphénoliques présents dans le raisin sont connus pour réduire le stress oxydatif, moduler la cascade inflammatoire, réduire l’oxydation du ldl-c et induire une protection contre les épisodes athérothrombotiques, notamment l’ischémie myocardique et l’inhibition de l’agrégation plaquettaire. La plupart de ces effets sur la santé ont été attribués aux composés polyphénoliques agissant comme agents réducteurs dans de nombreux systèmes biologiques en donnant de l’hydrogène, en éteignant l’oxygène singulet, en agissant comme chélateurs et en piégeant les radicaux libres. De plus, ces activités antioxydantes contribuent à limiter l’oxydation des acides nucléiques, des protéines et des lipides, qui peuvent déclencher des maladies dégénératives telles que le cancer, les maladies cardiaques, les troubles dermiques et le vieillissement. Les études épidémiologiques ont montré une corrélation inverse entre la consommation d’un régime alimentaire enrichi en polyphénols et la réduction des risques de maladies cardio-vasculaires (MCV). Les mécanismes potentiels de prévention des MCV et d’autres maladies chroniques pourraient être liés à l’activité antioxydante.

Panorama sobre el vino y la salud 32 años después de la paradoja francesa

Los compuestos fenólicos o polifenoles son los metabolitos secundarios más abundantes y ubicuos presentes en el reino vegetal con más de 8000 estructuras fenólicas conocidas actualmente. Estos compuestos desempeñan un papel importante en el crecimiento y la reproducción de las plantas, proporcionando protección contra el estrés biótico y abiótico, como el ataque de patógenos e insectos, la radiación ultravioleta y las heridas. Los (poli)fenoles se distribuyen ampliamente en la dieta humana, principalmente en alimentos y bebidas de origen vegetal (frutas, verduras, frutos secos, semillas, hierbas, especias, té y vino tinto). De hecho, se sabe que los compuestos fenólicos de las uvas y los vinos tienen algunos beneficios para la salud, como un papel quimiopreventivo contra enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer y degenerativas. Por ejemplo, se sabe que los compuestos polifenólicos de las uvas reducen el estrés oxidativo, modulan la cascada inflamatoria, reducen la oxidación del c-LDL e inducen protección contra episodios aterotrombóticos, incluida la isquemia miocárdica y la inhibición de la agregación plaquetaria. La mayoría de estos efectos sobre la salud se han atribuido a compuestos polifenólicos que actúan como agentes reductores en muchos sistemas biológicos al donar hidrógeno, apagar el oxígeno singlete, actuar como quelantes y atrapar radicales libres. Además, estas actividades antioxidantes ayudan a limitar la oxidación de ácidos nucleicos, proteínas y lípidos, que pueden iniciar enfermedades degenerativas como el cáncer, las enfermedades cardíacas, los trastornos dérmicos y el envejecimiento. Los estudios epidemiológicos han demostrado una correlación inversa entre el consumo de una dieta enriquecida con polifenoles y la reducción del riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV). Los mecanismos potenciales de prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares y otras enfermedades crónicas podrían estar relacionados con la actividad antioxidante.

Alcohol preference and health behaviors in patients with cardiometabolic diseases: insights from the multi-center iact cross-sectional study

Recognizing the influence of alcohol preference on health behaviors is essential for developing tailored interventions that effectively promote healthier lifestyles and optimize disease management strategies in the vulnerable population of patients with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). The present study aims to provide valuable insights into how alcohol preference relates to dietary habits and medication adherence among patients with CMD diseases.

Screening of phenolic compounds and antioxidant potential of grapes, wine and grape by-products

Polyphenols, bioactive secondary metabolites abundantly found in various grapevine components such as stalks, skins, and seeds, have attracted considerable attention in recent decades due to their potential health benefits. These compounds, including flavan-3-ols, flavanols, flavones, and stilbenes, are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Pharmacological basis of the J-shaped curve in biological effects of wine

The classical pharmacological model assumes that the effect of a drug is proportional to the fraction of receptors occupied by the drug. In the simplest circumstances, the relationship between dose of a drug and response, when plotted on a logarithmic scale for drug concentration, is described by a sigmoidal curve. It presumes the existence of a threshold dose, below which no biological effect appears, and a maximal response in the form of a plateau, when a further increase in the dose of drug has no effect.

Is complex nutrition more advantageous than mineral nitrogen for the fermentative capacities of S. cerevisiae?

During alcoholic fermentation, nitrogen is an essential nutrient for yeast as it plays a key role in sugar transport and biosynthesis of wine aromatic compounds (thiols, esters, higher alcohols). The main issue of a lack in yeast assimilable nitrogen (yan) in winemaking is sluggish or stuck fermentations promoting the growth of alteration species which may lead to economic losses. However, correcting this nitrogen deficiency is sometimes not enough to restore proper fermentation performance. This suggests the existence of other nutritional shortages.

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.
