Abstract
We compared the in vivo effect of red vs. white wine consumption on platelet aggregation, responsiveness and membrane viscosity, plasma total antioxidant status, thromboxane B(2) levels, and fibrinolysis. Diet and red wine had a synergistic effect in decreasing platelet aggregation. Red wine did not have a significantly more favorable effect on the fibrinolytic factors than white wine. The reduction in platelet membrane viscosity after red wine, which could contribute to the protective antithrombotic role of red wine, needs further explanation.
