Resveratrol Stops The Damage

Resveratrol In Grape Skins Could Stop Diabetic Complications Such As
Heart Disease

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/101086.php

Research carried out by scientists at the Peninsula Medical School in
the South West of England has found that resveratrol, a compound
present naturally in grape skin, can protect against the cellular
damage to blood vessels caused by high production of glucose in
diabetes, according to a paper published in the science journal
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism this week.

The elevated levels of glucose that circulate in the blood of patients
with diabetes causes micro- and macrovascular complications by
damaging mitochondria, the tiny power plants within cells responsible
for generating energy. When they are damaged they can leak electrons
and make highly damaging 'free radicals'.

Complications that can result when this happen include nephropathy
(kidney disease), heart disease and retinopathy (which if left
untreated can lead to blindness).

Resveratrol stops the damage by helping cells make protective enzymes
to prevent the leakage of electrons and the production of toxic 'free
radicals'.

As well as being naturally present in grape skins, resveratrol is also
present in seeds, peanuts and red wine.

Dr. Matt Whiteman, Principal Investigator and Senior Lecturer at the
Institute of Biomedical and Clinical Science, Peninsula Medical
School, commented: "Resveratrol's antioxidant effects in the test tube
are well documented but our research shows the link between high
levels of glucose, its damaging effect on cell structure, and the
ability of resveratrol of protect against and mend that damage."

He added: "Resveratrol or related compounds could be used to block the
damaging effect of glucose which in turn might fight the often life
threatening complications that accompany diabetes. It could well be
the basis of effective diet-based therapies for the prevention of
vascular damage caused by hyperglycaemia in the future."

Researchers Show Resveratrol
Works In The Brain By Metal Chelating Effects

Researchers now convincingly show that, via its iron-chelating
effects, resveratrol is able to cross barriers that protect the brain
from entry of toxins (blood/brain barrier) and reduce oxidation
(spoilage) of fats and increase the activity of protective antioxidant
enzymes in the brain of healthy rodents. The research has application
for age-related brain disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
disease.

Resveratrol decreased malondialdehyde (an end product of oxidation of
fats) in brain tissues by -300%. Doses ranging (in human equivalents)
from 87.5 to 875 milligrams were effective in this regard. Higher
doses were not more effective.

Resveratrol also significantly increased the activity of antioxidant
enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase by 160%, 270%
and 210% (see above chart). The forms of most of these protective
enzymes were iron-controlling proteins, confirming that resveratrol's
primary action is via its ability to control metallic metals. Loose
(free) iron causes tissue damage in all forms of age-related brain
disease. While a relatively high dose of resveratrol was shown to be
most effective (875 milligrams human equivalent dose), this was only a
7-day study. It is expected that a life-long accumulation of iron in
brain tissues will require a high loading dose and a lower maintenance
dose. The current fad of ultra-high dose resveratrol supplementation
may be beneficial initially, but lead to anemias over longer term
use. -Resveratrol News April 2007

Orr .. a peanut butter sandwich ..

Content in selected foods
Food Serving Total resveratrol (mg)[13]
Peanuts (raw) 1 c (146 g) 0.01 - 0.26
Peanuts (boiled) 1 c (180 g) 0.32 - 1.28
Peanut butter 1 c (258 g) 0.04 - 0.13
Red grapes 1 c (160 g) 0.24 - 1.25

Ounce for ounce, peanuts have more than half the amount of resveratrol
in red wine. The average amount of resveratrol in one ounce of peanuts
in the marketplace (about 15 whole) is 79.4 µg/ounce.

In comparison, some red wines contain approximately 160 µg/fluid ounce.
[14] Resveratrol was detected in grape, cranberry, and wine samples.
Concentrations ranged from 1.56 to 1042 nmol/g in Concord grape
products, and from 8.63 to 24.84 micromol/L in Italian red wine. The
concentrations of resveratrol were similar in cranberry and grape
juice at 1.07 and 1.56 nmol/g, respectively.[15]

Blueberries have about twice as much resveratrol as bilberries, but
there is great regional variation. These fruits have less than ten
percent of the resveratrol of grapes. Cooking or heat processing of
these berries will contribute to the degradation of resveratrol,
reducing it by up to half. [16]
