Scientific title
Study objectivesModerate consumption of red wine shows antioxidant activity in vivo and modulates functions of the specific and unspecific immune response. The effects of native and dealcoholised red wine are compared to control intervention (short term: water; dietary intervention: no study drink).
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the ethics committee of the University of Bonn.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOxidative stress in healthy subjects
Intervention1. One single dose (one glass) of red wine, dealcoholised red wine or water in a fasting state (Single dose analysis) OR
2. One glass of red wine, dealcoholised red wine or no special drink (controls) daily after dinner for a period of 6 weeks (dietary intervention trial)
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Concentration of total phenolic compounds in plasma (folin assay)
2. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand breaks in peripheral leukocytes (single cell gel electrophoresis)
3. Antioxidant capacity in plasma (trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity)
4. Apoptosis of PHA activated T lymphocytes (annexin-V binding test)
5. Phagocytosis in monocytes and granulocytes (Phagotest® test kit)
6. Respiratory burst in monocytes and granulocytes (Bursttest® test kit)
Secondary outcome measures1. Vitamin C concentration in plasma a-tocopherol concentration in serum (dietary intervention trial only)
2. Concentration of uric acid, albumin and bilirubin in plasma

Completion date31/08/2001
