• Nitrate, bacteria and human health (2004, background): “Under basal conditions, the metabolites of endogenous NO in plasma are mainly derived from the L -arginine-NO pathway in the endothelium of blood vessel”
• Methods to detect nitric oxide and its metabolites in biological samples. (2007, background): “Nitrite and nitrate in blood have been widely used as an index of endothelial NO synthase activity [38,39] as routine indirect measures of NO levels.”
• The nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway in physiology and therapeutics (2008, background): “In NOS knockout mice, the circulating nitrite levels are reduced by up to 70”
