Abstract
pidemiological evidence consistently
link moderate red wine consumption
with reduced incidence of
cardiovascular disease. lt has been
found that there is a much lower
mortality from cardiovascular disease,
mainly coronary artery disease
(CAD),in the countries borderingthe
Mediterranean compared with that in
Northern Europe. This was coined
"The French Paradox", describing the
phenomenon that the French have a
low incidence of CAD despite the hct
that they follow a diet rich in saturated
fat. lt is well known that the French
regularly consume red wine with their
meals. Platelet aggregability plays an
important role in the pathogenesis of
CAD.Various phytochemicals in red
wine may reduce platelet rggregation,
serum lipid peroxidation and hence
thrombosis. We investigated the
effects of regular moderate red wine
consumption on platelet aggregability
ex vivo and on the serum lipid profile
and antioxidant status.We conclude
