Sodium nitrate ingestion increases skeletal muscle nitrate content in humans Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Nitrate ([Formula: see text]) ingestion has been shown to have vasoactive and ergogenic effects that have been attributed to increased nitric oxide (NO) production. Recent observations in rodents suggest that skeletal muscle tissue serves as an endogenous [Formula: see text] "reservoir." The present study determined [Formula: see text] contents in human skeletal muscle tissue in a postabsorptive state and following ingestion of a sodium ...
A single dose of sodium nitrate does not improve oral glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus Hasselt University
A single dose of sodium nitrate does not improve oral glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Dietary nitrate (NO3(-)) supplementation has been proposed as an emerging treatment strategy for type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that ingestion of a single bolus of dietary NO3(-) ingestion improves oral glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes. Seventeen men with type 2 diabetes (glycated hemoglobin, 7.3% ± 0.2%) participated in a randomized crossover experiment. The subjects ingested a glucose beverage 2.5 hours after consumption ...
Incubation with sodium nitrite attenuates fatigue development in intact single mouse fibres at physiological P O 2 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Key points: Dietary nitrate supplementation increases plasma nitrite concentration, which provides an oxygen-independent source of nitric oxide and can delay skeletal muscle fatigue. Nitrate supplementation has been shown to increase myofibre calcium release and force production in mouse skeletal muscle during contractions at a supra-physiological oxygen tension, but it is unclear whether nitrite exposure can delay fatigue development and ...
Protein oxidation and protein nitration influenced by sodium nitrite in two different meat model systems Ghent University
Impact of sodium orthophosphate, sodium pyrophosphate or sodium citrate addition via dry-salting on the properties of low-moisture part skim mozzarella Ghent University
Effect of sodium ascorbate and sodium nitrite on protein and lipid oxidation in dry fermented sausages Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University KU Leuven
of dry fermented sausages. Samples were taken at day 0, 2, 8, 14, 21 and 28 of ripening to assess lipid
(malondialdehyde) and protein (carbonyls and sulfhydryl groups) oxidation. Sodium ascorbate and nitrite
were separately able to reduce the formation of malondialdehyde. Their combined addition resulted in ...
