title: [Variability of polyphenol content in different types of wine and its potential application in the understanding of its biologic effects].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Wine polyphenols have antioxidant properties. Different polyphenols have various biological activities on atherogenesis and carcinogenesis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The composition on 5 polyphenols of 16 wines of Castilla (Spain) is determined by HPLC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Polyphenols concentrations varied largely among the different wines. Most red wines had higher amounts of polyphenols than white wines.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diverse composition on polyphenols of each wine allows to suggest different biological effects.
