Polyphenols in red grape, wine and green tea, their biological role and specific reaction with formaldehyde.
Keywords:
polyphenols, formaldehyde, oxidative stress, chemoprevention, resveratrolAbstract
This paper reviews the biological significance of polyphenols present in red grapes, wine, and green tea, with particular emphasis on their antioxidant properties and potential health-promoting effects. Polyphenols can scavenge free radicals, chelate metal ions, and help regulate the balance between the formation and inactivation of reactive oxygen species. These activities have been associated with protection against oxidative stress and may contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, by inhibiting LDL oxidation and platelet aggregation. In addition, polyphenols have been reported to exhibit antidiabetic and anticancer properties.
A key aspect of this paper is the interaction between polyphenols and endogenous formaldehyde. Compounds such as resveratrol and gallic acid may react with formaldehyde through Mannich and Lederer-Manasse type reactions, thereby reducing the level of reactive endogenous formaldehyde in biological systems. This formaldehyde-capturing capacity may represent an important mechanism underlying the cardioprotective and chemopreventive effects attributed to polyphenol-rich foods and beverages.
