Previous studies reported that aged red wine, but not novel red wine or white wine protects human red blood cells from oxidative damage induced in vitro by H2O2. Here, we demonstrate that the beneficial properties of aged red wine are due, at least in part, to the presence of anthocyanins. We firstly measured the antioxidant power of an Italian red wine (Taurasi, Avellino) and that of its anthocyanin fractions by using Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power Assay. Subsequently, we demonstrate that fractions containing anthocyanins lower ROS (reactive oxygen species) and methemoglobin production in human erythrocytes treated with H2O2. Finally, we reported that the protective effects of anthocyanins were also confirmed in an experimental model in which RBCs were deprived of catalase activity by treatment with 4 mM sodium azide. The results obtained clearly demonstrate that red wine anthocyanins protect human RBCs from oxidative stress. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
