 were randomly assigned to five groups (n=5). They were painstakingly allowed to acclimatize for one month. Red Wine (12%), White wine (12%), Rose wine (12%), ethanol (12%) and distilled water (control) were administered orally to groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively for 14 days. The administration was done in accordance with Pedro Montilla’s method, 2005 (400ml/70kg body weight, with 12hr- light/dark cycle). The rats were later sacrificed and subjected to biochemical and histological analysis. Rose wine emerged the best in significantly reducing (P<0.05) LDL-cholesterol, in triggering weight loss for days 8, 9, 13 and 14. HDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride was found not to be significantly different from the control for Rose wine. Histological figures, show that all the wines have no adverse effect on the brain’s structural integrity. This discovery is an uplift to our scientific knowledge, it shows that rose wine cannot predispose to atherosclerosis. The wonder behind rose wine’s action was explain by Ryan and Marvin in 2015 when they discovered that rose wines have both functions of white wine and red wine.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/908.jpg)

Wines have been known since 1786 to produce beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. The next question is which of the wines have the best antioxidant component? Twenty-five albino rats (weighing 191 ± 9.4g) were randomly assigned to five groups (n=5). They were painstakingly allowed to acclimatize for one month. Red Wine (12%), White wine (12%), Rose wine (12%), ethanol (12%) and distilled water (control) were administered orally to groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively for 14 days. The administration was done in accordance with Pedro Montilla’s method, 2005 (400ml/70kg body weight, with 12hr- light/dark cycle). The rats were later sacrificed and subjected to biochemical and histological analysis. Rose wine emerged the best in significantly reducing (P<0.05) LDL-cholesterol, in triggering weight loss for days 8, 9, 13 and 14. HDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride was found not to be significantly different from the control for Rose wine. Histological figures, show that all the wines have no adverse effect on the brain’s structural integrity. This discovery is an uplift to our scientific knowledge, it shows that rose wine cannot predispose to atherosclerosis. The wonder behind rose wine’s action was explain by Ryan and Marvin in 2015 when they discovered that rose wines have both functions of white wine and red wine.
