Background And Design: The purpose of this randomized controlled cross-over study was to determine the acute effects of high doses of alcoholic beverages on circulating markers related to atherosclerosis and fibrinolysis.
Methods: Twenty-two healthy men consumed a high dose (8.1+/-0.9 dl) of alcohol-containing red wine and dealcoholized red wine, and an equal ethanol dose of cognac (2.4+/-0.3 dl). Blood samples were taken before and shortly after interventions.
Results: Red wine, unlike dealcoholized red wine and cognac, increased tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 levels significantly, indicating an acute inhibition of fibrinolysis after a high dose.
Conclusion: Findings may explain the increased risk of cardiovascular mortality among binge drinkers.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol (stilbenoid), which can be found in grape skin, red wine, blueberries, peanuts and others. The biological properties of resveratrol, in particular antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, estrogenic, vasorelaxant and cardioprotective activity, are the main reason for its importance in medicine and pharmacy. Despite all of its advantages, however, there are many problems related to this polyphenolic substance, such as low stability, water insolubility, poor bioavailability and fast metabolism.

Controlling the microorganisms employed in vinification is a critical factor for successful wine production. Novel methods aimed at lowering sulfites used for wine stabilization are sought. UV-C irradiation has been proposed as an alternative for reducing the viable cell count of microorganisms in wine and grape juice.

The recovery of polysaccharides (PS) from red grape marc and white grape pomace by enzymatic degradation of their cell walls is an interesting green extraction technique that preserves the structure and bioactivity of PS. The type and dose of enzyme, and the liquid/solid (L/S) ratio in PS extraction were studied using four commercial enzymes. Four different doses per enzyme were used, with tartaric acid as solvent and L/S ratios of 1.

: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of acidic beverages on the mechanical properties of various dental resin-based materials. : A total number of 160 samples were prepared using four types of resin-based materials-Group A ( = 40): flowable composite, Group B ( = 40): heavy-flow composite, Group C ( = 40): resin-based sealant and Group D ( = 40): nano-hybrid composite. Then, the samples were distributed into four subgroups according to the submersion solution: ( = 10): artificial saliva, ( = 10): coffee, ( = 10): cola and ( = 10): red wine.
