Summary

Ingestion of wine and beer, but not of ethyl alcohol, produced a decrease of the blood fibrinolytic activity. In vitro experiments showed that wine and beer contained a principle which inhibited fibrinolytic activators. This principle was isolated from grape pulp, and upon analysis it was found to be a pectin-like substance.

* This investigation was supported by grants from the Swedish Medical Research Council.
