Impaired pulmonary function is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population independent of smoking [ 1 2 3 4 ] . The factors that influence pulmonary function are not completely understood and oxidant exposure could play a negative role [ 5 6 7 ] . Support for this hypothesis comes from studies that report a positive association between antioxidant vitamin status and lung function [ 8 9 10 11 ] . Several studies have indicated that alcohol exposure may contribute to oxidative burden and, therefore, it may be linked to impaired pulmonary function through oxidant-antioxidant mechanisms [ 12 13 14 15 ] . However, while alcohol itself can act as an oxidant, wine has antioxidant properties [ 12 13 16 17 ] .
It has been shown that in Paget's disease of bone, a condition characterised by a localised upregulation of bone turnover, there is a significant increase in the ratio between the native peptide form of CTX (α L) and the age-modified forms (β L, D-isoaspartyl peptide and α D) [ 9 ] . The use of CTX ratios may thus be indicative of the significant decrease in the residence time and therefore the average age of the resorbed bone collagen type I fragments in Pagetic patients [ 9 ] . This indicates that perturbations in the normally well-regulated process of bone turnover can result in changes in the half-life of collagen type I within the bone matrix.
