Unraveling the French paradox: how flavonoids in grape seeds can protect your blood vessels

Article Abstract:

Research is analyzed on the effects of grape-seed flavonoids on human blood vessels, a topic launched with the discovery that although French cuisine is high in fat, the French themselves have low incidence of heart disease. The flavonoids, present in wine, produce endothelium-dependent relaxation, which consists of nitric oxide synthase and enzyme activity in the aortic rings.
