Not only red wine, which is known benefits, but also other types of alcoholic drinks are very useful for the heart. In moderate quantities, they reduce the likelihood for cardiovascular disease, as well as accelerate the restoration of the cardiovascular system after heart attacks and strokes. That is the conclusion reached scientists from the University of Missouri.
By studying the effects on laboratory animals ethanol at blood vessels, scientists drew attention to the fact that it reduces the cells in the walls of their protein R-selektina. This protein has been actively involved in the development of inflammatory reactions, developing, for example, when atherosclerotic vascular injuries or heart failure caused by myocardial infarction.
According to researchers, this effect will manifest itself and at the level of the whole organism, that is, alcoholic beverages theoretically can be used for prevention of cardiovascular diseases and their complications. But scientists warn that ethanol has and other effects, including unfavourable to the body (such as liver damage and loss of nerve cells), so it is unlikely to put one of the drugs.
