Methods to detect nitric oxide and its metabolites in biological samples. (2007, background): “Furthermore, dietary nitrate has been recently shown to reduce diastolic blood pressure in healthy volunteers [43].”
The increase in plasma nitrite after a dietary nitrate load is markedly attenuated by an antibacterial mouthwash. (2008, background): “Indeed, a similar or even smaller increase is associated with reduction in blood pressure in healthy humans [21] and cardioprotective effects in a murine model of myocardial infarction [13].”
Effects of dietary nitrate on oxygen cost during exercise (2007, methodology): “In this study, we did indeed note an increase in plasma nitrite after the nitrate treatment period thereby confirming in vivo reduction of nitrate as described previously (Lundberg & Govoni 2004, Larsen et al. 2006).”
The nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway in physiology and therapeutics (2008, background): “and a significant decrease in blood pressure after nitrate ingestion, associated with an increase in plasma nitrite levels from 140–220 n”
Dietary inorganic nitrate improves mitochondrial efficiency in humans. (2011, background): “Several lines of research indicate that the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway is involved in regulation of blood flow, blood pressure (Larsen et al., 2006), cell signaling, glucose homeostasis (Carlstrom et al., 2010), and tissue responses to hypoxia (Gladwin et al., 2005; Lundberg et al., 2008; van…”
