Published: August 2003

A review of the literature on the 'antioxidant' action of white wines on the cardiovascular system is given. The conclusion is that ingestion only of white wines very low, or lacking, in polyphenolics leads to a reduction in the antioxidant action of blood serum, and to an increase in the low density lipoprotein to high density lipoprotein ratio.

Beverage consumption modifies the risk of type 2 diabetes associated with ambient air pollution exposure.

Ecotoxicol Environ Saf

January 2025

Department of Medical Statistics, School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China; Division of Clinical Research Design, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Electronic address:

Background: Evidence on how beverage consumption modifies associations between air pollution (AP) exposure with the type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk remains scarce, which we aimed to investigate in this study.

Methods: A total of 77,278 adults from the UK Biobank cohort were enrolled. Annual average concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM and PM) and nitrogen oxides (NO and NO) were estimated to represent the long-term AP exposure using the land use regression model.

Characterization of flavor profiles of wines produced with Coniella vitis-infected grapes by GC-MS, HPLC, and sensory analysis.

Food Chem

January 2025

Shandong Academy of Grape, Shandong, Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jinan 250100, China. Electronic address:

Grapevine white rot is a fungal disease that frequently occurs during the growing season, resulting in reduced fruit quality and severe yield losses. This work aimed to compare the differences in flavor profiles between wines made from different percentages of Coniella vitis-infected grapes by using FTIR spectrometer, sensory analysis, HS-SPME-GC-MS and HPLC-DAD.

Perception of Sour Taste in Subjects with Olfactory Deficits: Role of Myrtle Aromatization.

Nutrients

December 2024

Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Cagliari, Cittadella Universitaria, SP 8 Monserrato, 09042 Cagliari, Italy.

Background: Sour taste is associated with acid-base homeostasis, which is critical to cell metabolism and health conditions. Vinegar, which contains acetic acid as the main component, is a sour food considered the second most common condiment in Italy.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess differences in sourness perception in subjects with olfactory deficits compared to controls and evaluate myrtle aromatization's potential effect in modulating sourness perception in subjects with hyposmia.

Background: Alcohol intake is associated with a higher risk of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC), presumably through its confirmed ability to increase sex hormone levels. Whether consuming alcohol within the recommended limit of one serving per day increases sex hormone levels among postmenopausal women taking aromatase inhibitors (AI) to inhibit estrogen production remains unknown. Therefore, we compared sex hormone levels following white wine to levels following white grape juice among ER + BC survivors taking AIs.

The use of 3D-printed electrodes is reported fabricated from in-house conductive filament composed of a mixture of recycled poly (lactic acid) (rPLA), graphite (Gpt), and carbon black (CB) for fast detection of the abused drug ketamine. Firstly, the performance of these electrodes was evaluated in comparison to 3D-printed electrodes produced employing a commercially available conductive filament. After a simple pretreatment step (mechanical polishing), the new 3D-printed electrodes presented better performance than the electrodes produced from commercial filament in relation to peak-to-peak separation of the redox probe [Fe(CN)]/ (130 mV and 759 mV, respectively), charge transfer resistance (R = 1.
