Abstract:The protective effect of hydroxycinnamic acids, i.e. caffeic acid (CA) and sinapic acid (SA) present in wine, and chlorogenic acid (CHA) present in apple, compared to a red wine phenolic extract (RWPE) was investigated in hamsters fed an atherogenic diet for 12 weeks. Five groups of 8 hamsters fed such a diet received by force-feeding RWPE, CA or SA in water, mimicking a moderate consumption of alcohol-free red wine. Controls received water and CHA force-feeding was extrapolated from apple consumption. Plasma cholesterol concentration was lower in group that received RWPE (-22%) and hydroxycinnamic acids had no effect. Plasma apolipoprotein Apo-A1 concentration was not affected; consumption of RWPE only decreased Apo-B concentration (-46%). Liver superoxide dismutase activity was 33% lower and glutathione peroxidase activity was 67% greater in the group receiving RWPE compared to controls; there was no effect when CA, SA or CHA were given. All the phenolic compounds significantly increased plasma antioxidant capacity (about 28% on average) compared with controls. Aortic fatty streak area was significantly reduced in the group receiving RWPE (-30%) in comparison with controls and hydroxycinnamic acids. Our findings demonstrate that chronic ingestion of the nonalcoholic components of red wine, mainly polyphenols, prevent the development of atherosclerosis in hamster and that wine hydroxycinnamic acids are not the phenolic compounds involved in such a beneficial effect.
