Purple Grape Juice Improves Endothelial Function and Reduces the Susceptibility of LDL Cholesterol to Oxidation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
TL;DR: Short-term ingestion of purple grape juice improves FMD and reduces LDL susceptibility to oxidation in CAD patients, and potential mechanisms by which flavonoids in purple grape products may prevent cardiovascular events, independent of alcohol content are assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Select Flavonoids and Whole Juice From Purple Grapes Inhibit Platelet Function and Enhance Nitric Oxide Release
Jane E. Freedman,Crawford Parker,Liqing Li,Jacob A. Perlman,Balz Frei,Vadim Ivanov,Leslie R. Deak,Mark D. Iafrati,John D. Folts +8 more
TL;DR: The suppression of platelet-mediated thrombosis represents a potential mechanism for the beneficial effects of purple grape products, independent of alcohol consumption, in cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Administration of Wine and Grape Juice Inhibits In Vivo Platelet Activity and Thrombosis in Stenosed Canine Coronary Arteries
TL;DR: Pure ethanol has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo, although a blood alcohol content (BAC) of > or = 0.2 g/dL is usually required, much less than is usually necessary for platelet inhibition with pure ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids and Heart Health: Proceedings of the ILSI North America Flavonoids Workshop, May 31–June 1, 2005, Washington, DC
John W. Erdman,Douglas A. Balentine,Lenore Arab,Gary R. Beecher,Johanna T. Dwyer,John D. Folts,James M. Harnly,Peter C. H. Hollman,Carl L. Keen,G. Mazza,Mark Messina,Augustin Scalbert,Joseph A. Vita,Gary Williamson,Jerrilynn D. Burrowes +14 more
TL;DR: Data presented support the concept that certain flavonoids in the diet can be associated with significant health benefits, including heart health, as presented during a workshop held by the ILSI North America Project Committee on Flavonoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grape Juice, But Not Orange Juice or Grapefruit Juice, Inhibits Human Platelet Aggregation
TL;DR: The platelet inhibitory effect of the flavonoids in grape juice may decrease the risk of coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction and be associated with lower rates of cardiovascular disease.
