Element and redox homeostasis in rats after red wine consumption

In our earlier human study unfourable changes were observed in IL-1alfa, IL-2, VEGF and EGF level in women and TNF-alfa level in men after red wine consumption (women: 2 dl/day for 30 days and men: 3 dl/day for 30 days). Redox parameters changed only a small-scale. The concentration of Ca-, Pb- and Sr in erytrocyte decreased significantly in the case of both sexes, while the depletion of Mg and Zn was found in women. The aim of this work was to determine the changes of redox and element homeostasis after red wine consumption in rats and to prove the negative effects found in human study. Male Wistar rats (n=5–5;…
