■Arteriosclerosis Components of red wine Inhibition of LDL oxidation Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration Modulation of platelet aggregation Effects on vasomotor tone ■Effects on HDL
◼ Arteriosclerosis ◼ Components of red wine ◼ Inhibition of LDL oxidation ◼ Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration ◼ Modulation of platelet aggregation ◼ Effects on vasomotor tone ◼ Effects on HDL

Arteriosclerosis ●Definition Arteriosclerosis is a multifactorial disease process and is the principal cause of myocardial infarction,stroke.and peripheral vascular disease accounting for almost 40%of all mortality in the united states. ●Characteristics (1)Plaque formation (2)Progressive narrowing of the arterial's lumen diameter

Formation of Arteriosclerosis Accumulation of lipids(fatty streak) Surrounded by prolifereating smooth muscle LDL enters the endothelium LDL becomes oxidized by several types of cells The oxidized LDL attracts macrophages,forming foam cells Proliferating smooth muscle,lipids,and connective tissue become incorporated into the maturing Plaque Formation of a fibrous cap,having areas of cell necrosis and calcifation Narrowing of the arterial's lumen diameter

Red wine's component ●Ethanol ●Polyphenolic
Red wine’s component ⚫ Ethanol ⚫ Polyphenolic

Ethanol The effect of alcohol on the cardiovascular system ●Act as a fuel source Alter cholesterol composition ●Impair fluid balance Alter the activity of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes(p-450 cytochrome family,glutathione S-transferase superfamily,N-acetyl- transferases,etc) Moderate consumption increase plasma concentrations of HDL Moderate consumption decrease the adhesiveness of platelets Increase polyphenol availability by improving intestinal absorption Has a prooxidant effect(but polyphenols in alcoholic beverages counteract the potential prooxidant effect of ethanol)

Ethanol Comparison of red wine with spirits,beer and white wine Beverages such as white wine and beer,which have low levels of phenolic compounds,may have a prooxidant effects;red wine has net antioxidant activity o In comparison to other alcoholic beverages such as spirits.beer.and white wine.red wine is the most beneficial in reducing the risks of CAD and mortality in general Consumption of spirits was associated with an increased risk in deaths from all causes and in deaths from vascular diseases
