Abstract
The leading causes of death are still cardiovascular diseases worldwide.
Central to the cardiovascular system are reductions in the in vivo production and bioavailability of nitric oxide. Food ingredients have
received widespread attention in preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Epidemiological studies showed that moderate and regular wine consumption,
especially red wine consumption, was beneficial for a comparatively lower
incidence of coronary heart disease in France. Sulfite at high concentrations
in wine has been found to regulate nitric oxide bioavailability in the
nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway. The ability of sulfite to convert nitrite
into nitric oxide might have some beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases.
Because sulfite is a harmful substance in wine according to public perception, many
studies need to be performed in the future.
