Flavonoids, a group of phenolic compounds found naturally in fruit, vegetables, nuts, flowers, seeds and bark are an integral part of the human diet. They have been reported to exhibit a wide range of biological effects, including anti-ischemic, antiplatelet, antineoplastic, antiinflammatory, antiallergic, antilipoperoxidant or gastroprotective actions. Furthermore, flavonoids are potent antioxidants, free radical scavengers and metal chelators, and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Oxidative modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is believed to play a crucial role in atherogenesis. Epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of fruits and vegetables, and regular red wine consumption is related with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases., G. Mojžišová, M. Kuchta., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of regular daily consumption of white wine on oxidative stress and cardiovascular risk markers. Forty-two healthy male volunteers consumed 375 ml of white wine daily. Each participant provided three venous blood samples (before wine consumption, following the wine consumption period and again a month later). Levels of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, reduced glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A I, apolipoprotein B, triglycerides, paraoxonase 1, C-reactive protein, homocysteine, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) were measured. Immediately following the month of white wine consumption there was a significant increase in HDL-cholesterol (p<0.0001), paraoxonase 1 (p<0.001), glutathione peroxidase (p<0.001) and reduced glutathione (p<0.01) levels, a decrease in superoxide dismutase activities (p<0.0001), and a decrease in oxidation protein products (p<0.001) and TBARS (p<0.05) concentrations. However, there was also a clear increase in homocysteine (p<0.0001) after a month of white wine consumption. The results of our non-placebo controlled trial suggest that regular daily white wine consumption is associated not only with both antioxidative and antiatherogenic effects but also with a potentially proatherogenic increase of homocysteine concentrations. and D.

The root of the word Slavonia is the name "Slav". Historically, the region was reffered to as Slavonia, the land of the Slavs. The area is divided into five counties, with total population of 891 259 (2001 census). Slavonians are very familiar in that part of the Europe because of their traditional food. Slavonia significantly contributed to culture of Croatia as a whole, both through works of artists and through patrons of arts. Slavonia is a distinct region of Croatia in terms of ethnological factors in traditional music. It is a region where traditional culture is preserved through folklore festivals. Typical traditional music instruments belong to tamburica and bagpipes family. Slavonia is one of Croatian winemaking sub-regions, a part of its continental winegrowing region. The best known winegrowing areas of Slavonia are centered on Djakovo, Ilok and Kutjevo, where Graševina grapes are predominant, but other cultivars are increasingly present.
Dva bronzové odlitky (11 cm), držadlo dveří nebo skříně v podobě poprsí Bakcha (vinná réva) a Bakchantky v plášti sepnutém na levém rameni., Chlíbec 2006#, 192-193, č. 89, obr. s. 193., and Soška pochází ze sbírky Emila Filly. Existuje větší počet replik těchto renesančních držadel, která byla jednoznačně inspirována antickými držadly v podobě poprsí, nejčastěji Silénů, Faunů, nebo Bakcha.
