Abstract
Polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in our diet. Fruit and vegetables are a rich source of polyphenols. Besides their role in the biotechnological quality, interest, however, has recently increased greatly due to their antioxidant and free-radical scavenging properties. Numerous studies have suggested that polyphenols are protective against a number of diseases caused by oxidative stress. The oxidative damage is considered to play a causative role in aging and several affections, such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, inflammation, osteoporosis and others. Because of the limits of our endogenous defense systems and some physiopathological conditions (UV radiation, air pollutants etc.), dietary polyphenols could diminish the cumulative effects of oxidative damage over the life-span. However, the data about the bioavailability and the fate of polyphenols and the organism are still very limited; nonetheless, there is a considerable interest of many research groups in the world. The rationale of our work is to study the bioavailability of polyphenols from grape and wine in mammals. Food rich in polyphenols may be beneficial to human health and shall be widely used in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industry as well as in medicine in the future.
