Grape Skin Extract Useful in Stroke
Researchers have found that a compound in red wine or grapes may help to minimize brain damage from strokes.
Many Americans have suffered from a stroke, whether it¡¯s themselves or family members. As many people know, strokes can be very unexpected and the results can be permanent.
A stroke can occur when there is blockage of blood flow to the brain, which means oxygen and nutrients cannot enter. The brain¡¯s neurons in the affected areas begin to release excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters. The transmitters encourage calcium to move into the neurons resulting in free radicals that can be very hazardous.
Research has discovered that resveratrol--a compound found in grapes--can absorb the free radicals, stopping them from doing any more damage to the brain.
