In contrast to nitric oxide, which has well established and important roles in the regulation of
blood flow and thrombosis, neurotransmission, the normal functioning of the genitourinary …

Metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity, with an emphasis on the generation and role of
reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, is reviewed. Metal-mediated formation of free radicals …

The salivary glands actively concentrate plasma nitrate, leading to high salivary nitrate
concentrations (5–8 mM) after a nitrate-rich vegetable meal. Nitrate is an ecological factor …

To find an electrical conductivity (EC) in the nutrient solution used for pakchoi (Brassica
campestris L. ssp. Chinensis) cultivation that optimizes the plant's physiology, growth, and …

Oxidative/nitrosative stress, a pervasive condition of increased amounts of reactive
oxygen/nitrogen species, is now recognized to be a prominent feature of many acute and …

Nitrate content is an important quality characteristic of vegetables. Vegetable nitrate content
is of interest to governments and regulators owing to the possible implications for health and …

The discovery that dietary (inorganic) nitrate has important vascular effects came from the
relatively recent realization of the 'nitrate‐nitrite‐nitric oxide (NO) pathway'. Dietary nitrate …

Nitrate and nitrite have been considered stable inactive end products of nitric oxide (NO).
While several recent studies now imply that nitrite can be reduced to bioactive NO again, the …

Flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds have powerful antioxidant effects in vitro in
many test systems, but can act as pro-oxidants in some others. Whether pro-oxidant …

Elevation of circulating nitrite (NO2−) levels causes vasodilatation and lowers blood
pressure in healthy volunteers. Whether these effects and the underpinning mechanisms …
