Abstract

The aim of this article is to review the role of uric acid in
the context of antioxidant effects of wine and its potential
implication to human health. We described and discussed
the mechanisms of increase in plasma antioxidant capacity
after consumption of moderate amounts of wine. Because
this effect is largely contributed by acute elevation in plasma
uric acid, we paid special attention to wine constituents
and metabolic processes that are likely to be involved
in uric acid elevation.
